From Aristotle, envy (excessive indignation) is identified as one of 24 vices.
As described by Aristotle, the corresponding (deficient indignation) vice is identified as malicious enjoyment; and the corresponding indignation virtue is righteous indignation.
Why Aristotle’s Ethics isn’t widely taught is beyond me.
Aristotle’s Ethics are not taught because there is no logic, reason and science taught to children in today’s public schools—they are only brainwashed and conditioned into a worldview. They are taught what to think, not how to think.
This is to totally transform the Christian paradigm that existed in Western Civ to the atheist one of “God is Dead”. Why? So that there is no sexual morality—no restraint—which the Postmodernists despise. They hate the Christian moral restrictions which keep them from their orgies and young boys like their idealized Ancient Greek societies. But even in Hellenic times, Aristotle and the Greeks had ethics—although there was acceptance of pederasty and homosexuality. It was Christianity which ended this “acceptable” ideal.
The schools are trying to destroy Western Civilization and all knowledge and traditions. St. Thomas Aquinas basically “baptized” Aristotle and his ethics which are imbedded in Catholic Theology.
Any logic and reason taught in schools will destroy the illogical and irrational thinking of Marxist ideology—like ‘Heather has two mommies’. Marxism teaches silly, unnatural things as being “true”.
Application of Aristotle’s logic and ethics will shatter their ideology and show it for the weak, silliness that it is and that is the Postmoderns point:
They want a bunch of ACORN-like thugs who don’t think but are conditioned to group think and follow commands-—obamabots.
