In the previous lesson, discussing the topic of good virtues proclaimed by God or the virtues are

intrinsically good is a topic that I find useful in life. In my opinion, we are to proclaim the virtues
of Christ, but these should not be confused with good human virtues. There is a huge difference
between good human virtues and the virtues of Christ. We can exhibit high morals, be kind and
good, and live a good life, but if we are truthful and honest, we quickly discover that our best
deeds are not pure. For example, self-admiration may be hiding behind our helpfulness, and
while doing something good for others, we may be Judging them a little, or we have hidden
demands, etc. To have good virtue depends on both ourselves and each person's faith in God. We
can do a lot that looks good, but we are unable to reflect the eternal kingdom of God and radiate
the glory that is in God. The only thing we can do is make an effort to cultivate our virtue so that
we can get better every day.
I also made a point in the thread Aristotle on friendship. According to Aristotle, there are three
types of friendships. These are utility friendships, pleasure friendships, and goodness friendships.
These various types of friendships are not all inherently good or bad. They could even be
expanded further by classifying individuals within each category by your depth of knowledge of
the person, and how often you spend time with that person. For me, all the relationship types are
fluid and any acquaintance can move from one to the other. It is difficult for us to define the
types of friendship, so in a certain friendship relationship we just need to treat each other well,
help and support each other in difficult times as well as grow together.
In the previous class, no topic of discussion was new to me. After many lessons, I have also
gained a lot of experience in discussions, improving my ability to discuss in groups as well as my
English speaking ability.
