Reply #153: Which Virtues Do you feel Stark lacked?

[galileo3000]

Courage? Discipline? Strength? Honor?

If this is what we are lacking, how do we build them? (by we, I really mean me).

I tend to think pretty small, as I wield so little influence. I don't claim to know what would work for everyone. Hell, I'm not really sure how I would develop those traits in myself, but I'm trying.

I will admit that I am not a brave man, but I also am not a coward. If I want my leaders to be strong, it would make sense to me that I need to try to be stronger myself.

Recently, I have been trying to run as I thought it would help me become more disciplined. Tonight, I will try to run past the pain that I think I can withstand and push through my exhaustion. Hopefully courage is like a muscle that can grow stronger from use. If I do it...If I run despite being tired, hungry, and dehydrated, it will mean that I kept my word (while that may not the best definition of honor, but it is a start). I realize that it will take more to restore our party to glory but hopefully my desire for us to be better helps someone else out in the ether.

Within this blog, it is easy for me to remain undisciplined, so I will sign off for the night and run.

- Peace and Friendship to all.
