Bir ev için duvar-kolon-kiriş neyse, psikolojimiz için de erdemler aynı şeydir: Bizi ayakta tutar, hayatın zor mevsimlerinden korur ve başkaları için de güvenilir kılarlar. İyilik, dürüstlük, çalışkanlık, ümit, cesaret gibi erdemlerin yokluğunda insanlar da çöker, toplumlar da.

“kaçıncı” is a turkish word that doesn’t correlate to a word in english. i propose a new word “whichnth” (pronounced which-unth) for it. so instead of saying “how many times has this happened abi ya!” you say “whichnth is this abi ya!”. (“abi ya” is just an exclamation for frustration)
