The problem with intellect is that it cannot see beyond it's own limits and there is the temptation to alter the truth to fit within them.
The problem with virtue is that one can become attached to the idea of being virtuous and be unable to see the truth in that which is without virtue.
The problem with truth is that it is an empty vessel, empty but able to contain all things.

Intellect is useful when it's limitations are acknowledged.
Virtue is useful when there is no attachment.
Truth is useful as a veiled mystery that we are drawn to uncover.

Just some thoughts, hope you are doing well Cannon.
