 This is allied to the movement of the person to
grow in virtue. Man has an interior power to act
in accordance to the norms of excellence. He has
the capacity to adhere to virtuous acts in the face
of changing/evolving circumstances.

the best way out of self-referential personal
satisfaction and selfish well-being.
