About eight years ago someone asked me in an interview, what's your virtue?
For a mildly educated person, I was a lot more perplexed than I should have been. I did not know what exactly a virtue was. My intelligence told me I could just say a nice word and escape.. get that job. Say it, say it., truthful, patient, something nice. That's all was required.
But no. Something stopped me from inside. At the most un-opportune of times. Why does the little prick called conscience raise its ugly head at the most inappropriate of times? After all, conscience is con - science. Science of the con! Damn it.
I have been thinking about that question ever since. On and off. Its a very profound question to dwell on. Every one should think of it and get some insight unto themselves. It takes some time, but in the end, you get something out of it which will stay with you.
