— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
Being virtuous means acting in a good and balanced way that aligns with human nature and logical thinking. Imagine a person who always tries to be kind, honest, and fair. They don't just act this way once; they make it a regular part of their daily life. For example, if someone sees trash on the ground, they pick it up not because someone is watching but because it's the right thing to do. This behavior becomes natural for them over time. It's like training your mind to consistently choose actions that feel right, reasonable, and balanced. Applying this to your life means practicing good habits regularly until they become a natural part of who you are, helping you to live a happy and peaceful life.
