>>>"The qualities of patience or greed may enable us to perform a moral or immoral or immoral act, respectively. Disposition, however, is not intent and it's certainly not an act, which could be moral or immoral."<<<

This is an excellent point and I don't entirely disagree with it except maybe as a matter of perspective. For patience or greed to exist in experience they have to be associated with some act(s) that is/are either moral or immoral. I am a wholistic thinker, so for me it is impossible to dismiss the entanglement of action and disposition where morality is experiential. I can not imagine a person's conduct as anything but moral in the context of their being patient. The acts characterize the patience or greed.

Have we strayed from the original topic? It doesn't matter to me if we have, just wondering.
