It deeply interested me in class when we brought up Aristotle's point of view on virtuous acts as opposed to the evil of immoral acts. I saw that they began to create a full circle as they became more undesirable. Each one seems to result in greed and a failure to complete purpose in life. It becomes not only hurtful to others, but it also becomes a burden to self to carry an excess or to become dry with one trait. The balance is not just an act of becoming more like the other side in order to keep the scale from drastically tipping, but it is a skill of control in order to keep the wheel from spinning wildly.
Schuler mentioned that Dante may make this breakthrough himself. I am eager to learn more in regards to this topic.
