[a little elbow grease]

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Yes!

... and may I add 'humility' to the important virtues.

[HangnJudge]

OK!

Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
Saint Augustine

And...

What is seen in society now is a catastrophic failure of primary Virtues,

Gratitude, Humility, Prudence, Fortitude, Courage, Justice, Honor
Temperance, Chastity, Charity, Patience, Kindness...

Replaced by the false gods of “Values” and “Money”
I want what I want when I want it...

When any Buddhist would tell you that
The root cause of all suffering is our desires
