Taking any opportunity to increment one's moral standing, with each seeming to traverse the minimum journey through reason to be sufficient as prerequisite to its incorporation.

This is the least costly path towards adoption of a belief in virtue.

Not withstanding the call to contest the degree to which reason has been practiced or the quality of analysis applied in such reasoning, it bears legitimacy to call into question the acceptance that to proclaim one's virtue is a forthright gesture at the most fundamental level.

If such expressions of moral standing, even if only implicit, are not readily believed to be of significant meritorious weight, it is no longer admissible to swallow the redundancy of considering the reason applied unless such reason, or the context within which it is displayed, cultivate the potential to supercede the natural pitfalls of a human propensity towards the illusory.

As it is not expedient to consider each occasion in great excess, given the nature of time, one must pursue the matter by factor of steadfast and compelling methodology. One of the most reliable, is to measure the degree to which personal sacrifice is incurred, or the breadth of psychosocial gain likely to be afforded through the act itself.
