Answer 2

There is no sure or easy way of mastering virtue. I would suppose that you must first master humbility and come to the realization that you are human as well as everyone else. You have made mistakes, have you not? You might ask yourself how you can learn from every situation you encounter. Sometimes, looking inside one's self is the only path towards the answer. Some people may not have what it takes to be virtuous. Others will gain the experience from early on in life.
I guess it all goes back to that age old argument: nature vs. nurture. I find this to be a common reference. For part of the answer, I imagine you will have to look inside yourself, while the other part lies in your surroundings.

Answer 3

"Virtue" is an arguable concept. It can range from stoning women to death for not wearing a hijab, to assassinating a doctor for performing an abortion. I suggest focusing on wisdom instead - and see you have wisely questioned what that is!

Always do what you know is right.
