This means that people should practice ethical principles in their lives almost all the time, except in certain situations. For example, Danielle must practice the virtue of honesty. She must tell her roommate, Tasha, the truth about her essay rather than lying to her. Lest Tasha feel bad about her progress. Even though Danielle's intention is good and her virtue regarding this situation is good, Danielle must also apply appropriate action towards her roommate's situation.
