VICES correlate positively with and promote/complement each other --- in leading to both personal and communal DIS-INTEGRATIONS, EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS and CHAOS. VIRTUES correlate positively with and promote/complement each other --- in leading to both personal and communal INTEGRATIONS, RIGHT-RELATIONSHIPS and INTEGRITIES . VICES correlate negatively with, and undermine, VIRTUES. VIRTUES correlate negatively with, and mitigate, VICES. VICES and VIRTUES are REFLEXIVE realities, not OBJECTIVE realities. Considerations of VICES and VIRTUES reflect back and forth upon each other --- as do participants in such considerations; thus they are REFLEXIVE rather than OBJECTIVE. Each one reflects upon each other. Each is considered "in the light of" each other; not independently in detached "objective" ways. Reflexive-considerations are not necessarily subjective. Reflexive-considerations are not necessarily biased. Biased-considerations are not necessarily "subjective". Biased-considerations are not necessarily "objective". VICES and VIRTUES do no necessarily "cause" each other and are not necessarily "caused-by" each other. The realms of VICES and VIRTUES are not "objective-realms" because they are reflexive-realms, since they reflect back and forth upon VICES, VIRTUES, and human participants within the various realms. To a limited extent VICES correspond to the absence of respect being demonstrated for essential VIRTUES; and showing/demonstrating respect for essential VIRTUES is a creative way of dealing with VICES --- at least for True-Lovers. For linguistic reasons our languages do not always have words to point to VICES and VIRTUES which correspond to simple-minded pairs of polar-opposites. Often our perceptions are guided and/or dominated by our existing vocabularies and sets of generally accepted/recognized word-phrases. We may be unable to communicate clearly regarding VICES and VIRTUES as polar opposites --- because we do not have vocabularies and phrases designed to facilitate such clear communications.
