The virtuous life can sometimes seem far away - a path available only to those who are already wise, or those who have plenty of spare time to seek it.

But it is not a path, to first find and then follow.

The virtuous life is a direction. Face it. Feel the sun on your face. Now move forward, one step at a time.

See the horizon? There lives the sage. But every step you take in that direction is a step in your virtuous life.

Have you wandered? Do you feel that you have gone astray?

Turn now to the warmth of the sun, and resume your journey. It is within your reach this very moment.
