We human beings are very funny: when something bad happens in our lives we say, "Why me? Why is this happening to me?" But when we wake up every morning and are alive and healthy and our family is well, we never say, "Why me? Why am I so fortunate?"
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
