ad VICE for living
Faith-based reflection on the virtues and vices
1. Whom do you envy? What does this say about what you value in yourself?
2. Can you think of a rivalry that damaged the people in it? Can you think of a rivalry that raised the competitors to a new level of excellence? What made the difference between the two cases? Which of your relationships are built on competition and comparison and which are not?
3. Think of a story about the way someone has helped you develop your gifts and virtues. Did they lead by example, instruction, or encouragement? Is your attitude toward them admiration and gratitude rather than envy? How did they make you want to be better, and why didn’t you feel threatened by their obvious superiority?
