Aristotle believed that we must each create morality within ourselves. Leading a life pursuing pleasure or avoiding pain is a fundamental mistake. Morality comes from the avoidance and abstention from excess indulgences and bravely confronting life’s difficulties. He said, “it is by reason of pleasures and pain that men become bad” (Aristotle, 1925, p. 32). The road to morality involves lifelong learning, beginning with early childhood education and continuing throughout our lives. He said, “Hence we ought to have been brought up in a particular way from our very youth, as Plato says, so as both to delight in and to be pained by the things that we ought; this is the right education” (Aristotle, 1925, p. 32).
