A Virtual World

It occurs to me that a virtual world is a world without virtue. Virtue must be cultivated in the soul in the context of relationships; of heart to heart, soul to soul, mind to mind. Character is only developed in community – a flesh and blood community of touch and feel and smell and taste and look and body language.


But of course we no longer talk of virtue because we don’t want it – it is too costly, too inconvenient; let us kill character, let us kill virtue – let us profane the sanctuary…surely God is not looking.
