Virtues

The Wisdom Commons is structured around a set of character qualities or virtues that are valued across many secular and religious wisdom traditions. The starting list came from the Virtues Project, with additions based on the work of world religions scholar, Huston Smith, and others. The list will evolve over time, based on content and suggestions provided by the community. Some virtues may be combined; others added. Which virtues are most important to you? Which are most widely valued by other people? When members choose a virtue as one of their top seven - when they put it in "My Seven" - it's like voting. That virtue gets bigger in the cloud on the Wisdom Commons home page.
