ARE VALUE AND VIRTUE SYNONYMOUS?
Many of us use words such as values, virtues, principles, morals, and ethics interchangeably, but though they have commonalities, they are not truly synonymous.
The most often confused terms are values and virtues.
A VALUE is a principle or fundamental belief that informs our decisions about what is important in life and guides attitudes, motivation, and standards of behavior. Whether a specific value is deemed worthy or not is subjective and depends, among others, on one’s culture, family background, religious beliefs, and social affinity and association. For instance, some may view the value of “nationalism” positively, while others may declare it a negative elitist attitude. Indeed, firmly held but opposing
VALUES have led to cultural clashes, societal divisions, and bloody wars.
A VIRTUE, on the other hand, is a quality that is commonly and widely considered favorable and desirable—qualities such as kindness, honesty, integrity, dignity, and such.
While all values may not be desirable, virtuous, and have moral goodness and are subjective and personal, virtues are universally lauded and deemed to have high moral value.
As often is the case in Hebrew, the terms for value and virtue are not ambiguous but clearly distinguish their meaning.
E-rech, עֵרֶךְ, value, is neither intrinsically good nor bad.
Mi-da tova, מִדָּה טוֹבָה, virtue, is inherently and fundamentally good.
Another lovely Hebrew word for your treasure box:
Most Hebrew words are formed from roots of three-letter roots with vowels and the addition of prefixes and suffixes. The root of the word to-va-na is the same as in ha-va-na, which means comprehension/understanding, and bi-na, intelligence/wisdom/understanding.
