Why?
All known virtues are necessary, but perfection shall exist in your mind as imagination before the time for its realization. You do not need a list of virtues for that comes to you in knowing all wrongs and crime and revenge. The Will is positive and the Judgment is negative. It is the wrong Judgment in its formation or transformation is what impedes our efforts to perfect. The correction for the wrong Judgment does not come from 'instinct' but the science for logic and in that the reasoning for law and the definition for 'justice'.

(a) PROPERTY
§ 489.
By the judgement of possession, at first in the outward appropriation, the thing acquires the predicate of 'mine'. But this predicate, on its own account merely 'practical', has here the signification that I import my personal will into the thing. As so characterised, possession is property, which as possession is a means, but as existence of the personality is an end.
I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
(Fritz Perls, 1969)

The Perfect World is No World.
Nothingness (Absoluteness) is the only Perfection.
The virtuous man shall always be challenged by the ignorant man. The only perfect man is no man. This is the balance of opposites.
There will never be a finite list of virtues, nor will there ever be a perfect world until there is no world.

The only way you could have a perfect world that is even possible on this plane of reality is for all the humans to learn to finally shut the hell up, or for humanity to be extinct by something other than nuclear war.

People fear almost as much as they love. Imagine, working on the fear and turning it into more love by acting on it in a way that is healthy. Learning from the mistake is hard to do. We need to look at our mistakes and see what kind of fear or action we took. I ran from my job or family or friend or life because I was afraid. Build on this and continue to work out personal problems. In this way, love is the virtue.

My world - don't expect me to be your slave, maid or your cook. You better know how to take care of yourself cuz I'm also not your babysitter. Don't expect me to bail you out of jail, pay your late fees, or cover your rent...I'm not your banker.
Do show me humor, goals, dreams. I don't care about your material stuff. Don't bore me to death. Be intelligent. Think. Think. Think again. Enjoy nature to the fullest. Get off your butt and exercise once in a while. Children are treasures but they are not allowed to run the household. They are not adults -- they are in training. All art is beautiful to someone, so don't criticize what you didn't make. Laugh. Laugh. and play some more.
And of course, tell me I'm nuts and I'll agree :-)
