What is your favorite virtue?

[Borachio]

I think forgiveness is a virtue that is underrated big-time. Since almost everyone almost certainly has once committed acts that do not seem to be justified in under any circumstance, forgiveness is an important virtue that has made life as we know it possible. This is especially important in ending wars: In war, both sides are almost certainly bound to commit war crimes under their flag, and it is pointless to seek retribution for every wrong that has begone, for the simple reason it invites for more bloodshed.

I agree. But forgiveness is a really hard virtue to practice. I'd consider it spirituality of the highest order; if I was in any shape or form a spiritually inclined person; which I am not, of course.

I think humility tops forgiveness because forgiveness goes with humility, in a dual way to boot. Those humble will have an easier time to forgive and will have an even easier time to forgive those humble as well. If two people are humble, things really need to look dire if they find no forgiveness for each other.

There is a brief saying about the word assume that is applicable here. Based on the target I hit, I should have aimed higher. I guess misery loves company.

In case it didn't get across, my second post was irony.
