Areté, or virtue, is not just about moral goodness. It's a unique, innate ability that allows certain individuals to perceive and interpret the world in ways that others can't. This ability, likened to an "eye," enables them to see beyond the horizon, connect the unseen dots, and shape the future. It's a reminder of the transformative potential of virtue, and of the need to cultivate and harness this natural endowment in our own pursuit of truth and excellence.
