Virtue its own reward
Behaviour that shows goodness, a good habit, an attractive and useful quality can be termed a virtue. It is the synthesis of all good qualities, such as truthfulness, forgiveness, self-dependence, social service, tolerance, self-confidence, justice and punctuality.
The path of virtue is difficult to follow. It is hard and unpleasant in the beginning, but wins in the end. The satisfaction it gives is unequalled. That is why it is said that "Virtue has its own reward".
The path of virtue is sharp like a blade, hot like a summer desert, unbearable like polar ice and is thorny like cactus. The student of virtue encounters a lot of pain in life. Mahatma Gandhi was an embodiment of virtue who united the people under one umbrella and finally drove the British from our motherland.
