Vicious may imply an addiction to or connection with vice or immorality; usually it suggests moral depravity and is the diametrical opposite of virtuous. (From Merriam Webster's Dictionary) The above echoes differences between VICES and VIRTUES. VICES work to AUGMENT realities which are: Vicious, Villainous, iniquitous, nefarious, flagitious, infamous, corrupt, degenerate, etc. --- while being pretentiously honorable. Vices cluster together in Mutual-Support and Competition. VIRTUES work to AUGMENT realities which entail: honesty, openness, transparency, cooperation, collaboration, grace, authenticity, integrations, integrities, health, shalom, hospitality, welcomes, etc. --- while being truly humble. Virtues cluster together in Mutual-Support and Love. People who seek to reap the Sweet-Fruits-of-Virtues by AUGMENTING-Vices must be confused about the natures of Virtues as Contrasted-With Vices! True-Lovers who know the Sweet-Fruits-of-Virtues By-Being in LOVE, do not confuse Vices and their Bitter-Fruits --- with Virtues and what They-Know to be Sweet-Fruits-of- Virtues. People Playing-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception cannot know the difference between Virtues-and-Vices --- and so AUGMENT-VICES to try to Control-the-growth-of- Sweet-Fruits which are always receding from them as they AUGMENT-VICES that they do not understand as being different from Virtues-which-are-not-Pretentious nor Arrogantly-Self-Confident in Knowing-Absolute-Truth which is Alienated from all Complementary-Other-Truths. ==========================================================
