_{^{The Goal -} Magnanimity}

The magnaminous person. ⬇️

Aristotle considers magnanimity to be the greatest virtue. It is concerned with high honors above and beyond what is possible for the average person. This is similar to the virtue magnificence (megaloprepeia) found in the preceding chapter (NE IV. 2), which is concerned with large - scale generosity.

Virtue 5- Wisdom 

Wisdom is the application of knowledge.

You may have heard that the wise one learns from others mistakes and a foolish one learns from not even their own mistakes.

It is wise to apply knowledge.

Where does knowledge come from?

Experience nurtures and creates knowledge.

You amount of experiences can vary in a timeline stance.

Have you experienced more in the last year rather than 2 years ago?

Experience comes from change.

So Change brings wisdom.

Are you comfortable right now? Too comfortable for wisdom?

Change is uncomfortable and any discomfort relates to pain.

Emotionally or physically.

The pain of not knowing. The pain of cuts and bruises.

Pain achieves wisdom.

Though I would more so say that the change of pain is what truly creates wisdom.

When you’re in pain you will only understand it best after it’s over.

Multiple outlooks, The inside and outside perspective.

Once it’s over you have your next challenge soon you will find another challenge and a little bit later a new one, it is meant to be endless.

Running away from discomfort and pain will only lead to more of it.

Seek [Wisdom].

And reap what is wise.
