A Virtues Project

Of course, it should suffice to say that I found this to be highly unusual. I have never looked at myself so much as I had for this project and I have never scrutinised myself as much either, and thus my self-confidence has decreased significantly, all of which I blame on you – The Curriculum.

Why should it be so that I must examine myself so well? Would it not be better that I go about life discovering myself one at a time instead of being brutally thrown into my queer little world to discover who I am in time for the due date of the project? I should have liked to find the potholes and gaps in my life much later, thank you very much, even though it might have been better to find out the discrepancies in my life.

You see, I am quite honest that I cannot make up false virtues to satisfy the project requirements. It would hurt my pride as a gentlemen much so.

I quite agree that what you are intending is for my “Ultimate Good” but I would like to question the reasons as to why it had to be now. Would it have made much a difference if I did this project a few years later. Surely, I would have found out more of myself by then instead of struggling to remember grievances that I have forgiven, prudent decisions and whatever virtuous thing I have ever accomplished in such a short period of time. I have only been alive for such a short time, after all.

Ah but yes, I probably have to succumb to your accumulated wisdom. If I was to find out who I really was, it might as well have been now when all the important changes was due to be made.
