"These are applications and every application will be viewed from a perspective of circumstance differently...same with the grandfather example."

Thanks for that agreement.

"Virtue exists in a pool available to us all and is recognized identically in ideal form"

I don't know what you are talking about. Virtue is a character trait which reflects values held by an individual. Virtue is not a wafer floating around invisible in the air.

"We know it when we experience it but it is impossible to hold or to prove."

I don't know what you are talking about. I know what are considered virtues according to my culture and I know when I meet someone exhibiting those various virtuous traits. And we have already looked at the relative nature of "kindness", benevolence, and so forth with the grandfather and other examples...
