    Two important virtues or characteristics that are useful to the community of people are

    compassion and tolerance

    There are as many personalities and character as there are people. We have to be compassionate with one another. Even when we may not get along with the next person, we should be able to place ourselves in that person's shoes.

    Sometimes we could be ' insensitive and irrational. We do things thinking in our own self good.

    We become blind-folded about how our actions and behavior affects our neighbor.

    If they act ' mindless, ans insensitive themselves, the first tendency is to act out, or to follow the golden rule- do unto others how you would want to be done to You."

    But this rule is not very rational- because " two wrongs doesn't make a right'.

    Besides if we live and guide our actions according to the rule of the old testament- " An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth " we all end up blind and toothless.

    Compassion is what you feel for your neighbor-and for all living things when you are aware that we are in this earth temporarily. This life is like a journey to other worlds-or a purification of our bad Karma ( who knows?)

    Tolerance is to accept difference characters and personalities. Even when vanity, pride, selfishness, gluttony, and ...self-conceited...revolts our stomach... just because we think and feel differently.

    It is easy to fall into the trap of hatred, or hostility and disgust when we know that ' life keeps its natural course and that nothing is eternal" and everything is ephemeral.

    You were born alone...and you have to depart alone.

    We should ' tolerate" and accept that each individual is unique- and product of his/her past life experiences.

    Physically and emotionally , everyone is what she or he is-and nothing more, but that individual is also God's creature and deserves to be respected and tolerated-even when we disagree or dislike each other.

    If we practice these two traits, I am sure we are going to have a better community, and we are going to be healthier and happier human beings.

    This also implies that we need to forgive our "neighbors' slandering, giving us a bad reputation, mocking our behavior, calling us names, and laughing on our backs, or making jokes

    with friends at our expenses .

    Although it does not mean that we have to forget, as it is good to remember who is who, and whom should we trust because when you forget, you will risk to make the same mistake again with the same person.

    It will then become like ' vicious circle."

    1) Fortitude - The industriousness (how hard & persistent) each member of community will sustain, drive and maintain the progress of a community.

    2) Justice - The way each member of community handles disputable issues will reflect order and build on the harmony of the community.

    Sounds like you're wanting someone to do your homework and looks like someone was foolish enough to do it.

    Your parents must be proud of you when you commit plagiarism.
