Oh, and thank you for the link!

P.S. Obviously your celtic heritage has gained a lot of patience! Another heritage or just training in the virtues? :smile:

Hi, Ben- I don´t know if germans are very patient, but I think they tend to loyalty and hm Kontinuität?what could that be in English- continuity?For example, I often hear people talk about being friends- for me it can take years, before I say someone is my friend, even when I like the person from the first moment, but then it ´s for a lifetime.

The Terms Prudence, Justice and Fortitude are wellknown, even when they were not always used after the classical definitions.But Temperance sounds a bit strange to most people-it´s often connected with negation- don´t be so emotional, angry, sensual etc.; do not eat or drink so much.
It seems to be contradictional to every kind of intensity, resulting in luke-warm mediocrity.
But that´s not what Temperance as a main-virtue means.
In old allegorical paintings Temperance is shown as a woman with two jars in her hands, mixing together either hot and cold water or wine and water.
This symbolises one spect of temperance-balance, the finding of the right measure. To develop this in a persons life, self- discipline is necessary.
so temperance is in the first line something positive and active.
Pieper says, that temperance is realised by finding the right measure for everything and living according to it through discipline.

Neither Thomas nor Pieper like a temperance, that rejects Strength and Intensity or that just looks for a overcarefull lifestyle that only is interested in selfish self-preservation and is unconcerned towards the demands of god or the common wellbeing.
One important result of real temperance is inner peace and balance, that encourages patience .Patience is connected to endurance and steadfastness, which belong to fortitude.
More tomorrow- it´s bedtime for me.
