How does a person learn to have high moral standards?

During the course of the webinar I learned about these 4 topics:

At minute 48, Alejo explained that virtues are not values. Virtues are related to nature — not to culture. Human nature is, as the word says, part of nature. Humans beings are animals. We are not made by humans. How do we know that we are part of nature? Because we have bodies. And having bodies means that we have to eat. However, to really thrive, we have to eat the right things, the right amount, in the right ways and at the right times. This is where virtue comes in. At minute 53, Alejo elaborated on this by saying that although human beings are part of nature, we are not only nature / biology. Why? Because biology cannot explain free choice or people’s capacity to make life plans.

If a person does all of this and also has great talent, she or he can even become a virtuoso, i.e. a highly skilled artist. As the person grows / develops her or his skills, she / she becomes able to perform with greater ease, pleasure, freedom and flow. Thereby she or he becomes capable of also working creatively and improvising. At minute 42, Alejo explained that the moral development process changes us. It is a maturing process. The work, which a human being makes toward achieving excellence, transforms her or him. He or she becomes aware of standards of excellence that less skilled individuals cannot see / hear / perceive.

At minute 29, Alejo explained that no person can force another person to be happy. No person can force another person to love another human being. At minute 82, Alejo elaborated on this by suggesting that we need to trust freedom. We need a variety of initiatives that people can choose from in order to learn. And then we need to give people freedom to find their own niche, which works for them. No-one knows what is the best thing for another human being.

At minute 104, Alejo also mentioned service learning and the possibility to work with one’s hands as parts of a person’s education. At minute 105, he emphasized the importance of children to play.
