I've been thinking about how to develop moral character, especially in a world with so many conflicting values and complex situations. This connects to virtue ethics and questions about ethics and morality in practice.
It's one thing to know what's right in theory, another to actually develop the habits and dispositions to do it consistently. And the "right" thing isn't always clear we often have to choose between competing goods.
I'm interested in practical approaches. Some people use meditation or reflection to cultivate awareness. Others focus on specific virtues they want to develop. Others learn through role models or community.
How do others work on developing moral character? What practices or approaches have you found helpful? How do you handle situations where doing the right thing is difficult or unclear?
