Wanna become like God? It is likely that you will find a joyously abundant treasure trove of relevant lessons by looking back on the struggles of growing up, romantic adventures, marriage and child-rearing, caring for aging parents, and present relationships with immediate family and extended family. The basic virtues are virtues of family life. In becoming like God, these virtues furnish the ground floor of the edifice of noble character.
