CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Vice or Virtue? What will you choose?

https://www.inspiredoriginal.org/post/a-herculean-choice-virtue-or-vice

“Of all the real good Things that Heaven grants to Mortals, there is not any one that is to be attain’d without Application and Labour.”

It was not long, however, before Vice interrupted her and told Hercules that she could show him a shorter way to happiness.

In response, Virtue scolded Vice, saying:

“Tis true, you were of a Celestial Origin; but were [you] not cast out of the Society of the Gods? And have you not, ever since, been rejected by all the most worthy Men, even upon Earth? … On the contrary, My Conversation is with the Gods, and with good Men; and there is no good Work produc’d by either, without my Influence. I am respected above all Things, by the Gods themselves, and by all the best of Mortals.”

Virtue finished her speech with the claim that all of her followers “look back with Comfort on their past Actions; and delight themselves in their present Employments. By my means, they are favour’d by the Gods; belov’d by their Friends; and honour’d by their Country: And when the appointed period of their Lives is come, they are not lost in a dishonourable Oblivion; but flourish in the Praises of Mankind, even to the latest Posterity.”
