But and interesting ...That's such a sad story.<br /><br />But and interesting point! I think, as in the story, it depends on the circumstances. So I would say that in some cases virtuous vice can exist.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-56691459182518584272011-04-27T00:07:01.024-07:002011-04-27T00:07:01.024-07:00Courtney

There are interesting papers and articles on the subject of virtuous vices. (worth a google perusal)<br /><br />From observing human nature and how we handle our own personal virtues and vices - I have concluded, affirmatively, that the likelihood of a virtuous vice existing was (and is) a very real possibility.<br />The test was in translating my thoughts into a story where readers might draw a similar conclusion.<br /><br /><br />As I wrote in an earlier reply (above):<br />This was my most difficult challenge to date - I thank you all for indulging me and reading and commenting about it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JennyPearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-47574387125268234012011-04-26T21:34:11.012-07:002011-04-26T21:34:11.012-07:00I suppose a vice can become virtuous unintentional...I suppose a vice can become virtuous unintentionally, as illustrated in the story, but otherwise, no.
