"Virtues are habits !"

...
"Free markets are morally neutral -- neither good nor bad. What brings morality into free market activities are the actions of people.

People's decisions and actions become habits. First we choose to lie, but eventually if we continue to lie we become a liar. Virtues are habits, and these habits shape our character over time.

It is time to stop blaming morally neutral systems for what we do and who we become. Ultimately, we become good or evil through our own actions and decisions that are taken through our own free will.

It is time to take a long, hard look at our culture; for it is there that we find our shared sense of right and wrong. We must stop the folly of deferring morality to governmental policy and regulatory control."

Aikido is a do or a jutsu ?
If it's a do, should we strive to became de (virtues) artists ?
After all, it is only a decision !
