Virtue is that which tends to our improvement, and vice to our degeneration.
Man is made up of three qualities -- brutal, human, and godly.
That which tends to increase the divinity in you is virtue, and that which tends to increase brutality in you is vice.
You must kill the brutal nature and become human, that is, loving and charitable. You must transcend that too and become pure bliss.
