Question (2000)

blocks—you name it—and there are more examples coming. Those
articles give an idea of how the work is used to
help people. This article will serve as a bit more of a

On The Virtues — or
having the experience, but missing the meaning (1999)
by David Gorman
We think of patience, honesty, courage, etc. as virtues—characteristics
that are good to have. But how often do we find ourselves
being the opposite—impatient, dishonest or lacking courage?
If these virtues are so good, how come they seem so hard
to live? Can one practice a virtue like patience by just
trying to 'be' patient? Even if we manage one time, why
do we find ourselves right back in the same difficulty again?
Or is there more going on here than meets the eye? David
shows another way of looking at these experiences that not
only makes sense of them, but removes the 'problem' and
the 'wrong' from them.
