Vice Admiral

“This court has determined regardless of supposed good intentions, Captain Wallace, you did aid in the death of Admiral Hawthorne by restraining the use of his arm,” Admiral ‘Round’ said, or so I referred to him. His girth surpassed his height so much so that he found need to stretch his arms and roll forward to reach the desk in front of him. “Therefore, you will be removed from service in the Royal Navy and no longer receive benefits associated with a member there of.” There were a number of gasps of surprise and several cheers at the reading of the verdict. The court room, normally minimally occupied for such a proceeding was filled to crushing capacity due to the sensationalist nature of the case.

A soul becomes ill by its "corrupt imagination. . . [that] confuses [the] good with [the] bad" (291), enabling one to choose vices over virtue.

a virtuous person. Authenticity has a vital virtue for someone to have a happy life, because authenticity is what makes all the other virtues possible. Aristotle defines moral virtue as behaving in the right way, between the vices, extremes and deficiencies. Virtue is having the right attitude in one’s life.
