Sometimes a virtue itself can be a plot point. When virtues collide, plot happens.
A desire to always tell the truth combined with a secret that must never be told puts someone in an awful position. Both are virtues - keeping a secret that must be kept is good. Telling the truth is good. Together is where plot can happen.
Think about conflicting virtues. Where does plot happen between them? What do you think of them?
Writing prompt: Write a short piece about someone caught between conflicting virtues. What happens? Is it resolvable, or does the person have to "fall from grace" to find a resolution? If possible, write it both ways.
