Of everyday history, the Surrealists, a maniquin, a preacher, the correspondance between Benjamin Franklin and David Hume, Wisdom and Gold, friendship, and Franklin as a Philosopher.
We are used to seeing Ben as a fat and replete man in his pictures and we think so what happened to temperance, frugality and moderation?
We act all the time, depending on the circumstances, sometimes by choice, others we realize just after (but then that would be reacting). Why is acting then, other than the profession of acting, thought most of the times as a negative way to conduct ourselves?
Temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility...
Franklin´s original list only had 12 virtues, actually. He added humility afterwards as to humble his attempt by accepting his lack of humbleness in accordance to the wise old saying: "humility has meaning only for a Subject who prides". Ok, so that´s not a saying, but it could be. Heiddegger... Working on it...
