Morning ablutions

Shake it off. Shake it off. Uh.

Make it clean again.

Thoughts:

Excellence of character. Arête. Virtue.

But what, actually, is that? What does it mean to make arête my goal? Following Nature? Another imprecise term. So much taken as given, as I'll-know-it-when-I-see-it post facto rationalization?

But, the thing is, I almost always DO know it when I see it. It pretty much stares me in the face what the correct path is when I am faced with a moral decision.

Then it's a matter of having the courage to act on that moral knowledge.
