Here’s to the indignant and stubborn! Dance with the dynamism of virtues and the heavenly domains, to discover how the blazing furnaces of indignation can forge a path from error in Amnesis to virtue in Magnanimity, within the grand framework of Structural Virtues Theory. Picture this: our living consciousness-subconscious-complex as vast kingdoms in which the virtues may dwell as stalwart guardians, each having its unique post and purpose. Let’s embark on this quest to meet these wondrous beings and discover the purpose in our anger, no matter where we believe it comes from!
Kratos Domain: The Gateway
First, we step into Kratos domain, where the groundwork of self-definition and rule acceptance or rejection is laid. Imagine a bustling marketplace where people barter not just goods, but ideas and principles. Each acceptance or rejection of rules creates ripples that disrupt the vacillating surface of Telos, people grappling with what to strive for when the rules shift beneath their feet. This domain is all about the primal orchestra of productive expectations, chaotic non-symphony where every move sets off chains of reaction in the relative tones made in or out of harmony.
The Sin of Amnesis
Amnesis, oh dear reader, is not about forgetting names or faces here; it’s the soul-deep oblivion in place of one’s identity and purpose. It’s like wandering through those infinite libraries in our kingdoms only to find nothing: books with blank pages; no narrative, no direction, and no sense of a future enlarged as contributive to the first virtue in Magnanimity. What do you know of your purpose without a sense of history and identity? God’s Reason, ultimately, our grand overseer with the highest thought potential, sits at the centre of this mental universe whether ignored or not. Magnanimity, that noble virtue, kicks off the parade by nurturing Honour; a deep-seated respect for ones values (hopefully well learned through proper Moral education) planted firmly in the soil of Magnanimity’s identification.
How Anger Often Helps
Now, here’s where indignation comes in as our stalwart ally. When confronted with lies and deception, those insidiously demonic blurs in reality, indignation blazes white hot. It’s not just about feeling annoyed, but rather the kind to preface complete awakening. This fiery emotion jolts us from Amnesis, forcing us to remember who we are and what we stand for.
The Virtue Cascade
Virtues cascade. Magnanimity evolves into Honour, which then guides Temperance: restraining dishonourable actions. Loyalty being the tempered recognition of honour in others. Indignation stokes this fire within for identity and right action. It spurs us to analyse situations with fresh eyes, unclouded by deceit. This is where Honesty steps in, applied to Loyalty revealing Excellence, the first virtue in Analysis at the moment of Propriety. Patience follows from the appreciation of excellence. So, our virtues unfold like a noumenal scroll, divinely granted to us.
Telos Domain: The Craft and Product
Indignation often propels us through Kratos, it drives us into Telos domain, where we balance product and craft. People are confused about what to work toward when rules shift; however, this confusion can be transformed into clarity which happens most often, especially these days, through this righteous anger. When lies and deception are exposed, the dust settles revealing true paths forward. The Eros domain follows next with power dynamics of relationships. Indignation fuels our resolve, and our movement toward those we can share Loyalty through the Honesty in these first four virtues.

The Logos Domain: Mastery and Reason
Finally, in Excellence we ascend to enter the Logos domain, where power and mastery reign supreme; as entering the Analysis aspect. Virtues come into full bloom through this chain reaction. Patience initiates the Perseverance aspect of Reason. Prudence harmonises divisions, Ethics desires fair rules, Justice projects these ethics into society. Courage overcomes cowardice, and its basic hatred of virtues as the core of the internalising sins, serving Good through Universal Order.
Willpower signifies fulfilment within community and virtues. Wisdom organises falsehoods around Truth; a free mind, triumphant in Willpower, contributes meaningfully to society; transforming identity and making GOOD on the promises in Magnanimity. This is where indignation’s fiery spirit finds its true home, driving us toward that simple yet authentic promise: God’s designated order in the grand finale of this so harmonised virtuous symphony.

See in the screenshot and link above how Elevational Motive works to drive us upward through the domains: from Kratos, into Telos, through Eros, and into Logos.
Indignation as Catalyst
Consider indignation not just as an emotion but a catalyst that ignites the engine of change. It’s a spark that can, and most often does set off an alchemical chain reaction of virtues activation. When faced with corruption or deceit, indignation rouses our sense of honour, loyalty, ethics, justice, courage, and willpower: fuelling the pursuit of noumenal Truth and Universal Order.
Indignation isn’t merely reactive; it’s proactive in propelling us forward rather than leaving us mired in resentment. This is the driving force that compels us to seek out honesty and temper our steadfast reactions. Through indignation we could just as easily forget who we are as remember, so it takes this moral ordering in honour to gain resolution; kratos domain security fires the necessary moderation in telos and eros domains.
In conclusion, let us take a moment to recognise the indignation and the fiery spirit! It’s not just about anger; it’s about the passion, purpose, and a relentless pursuit of the virtues. So here’s to the indignant souls who refuse to be deceived, who stand tall against lies, and who forge their path toward a brighter future! Cheers to your stand, where truth triumphs over falsehoods (hopefully), and may your virtues blossom forth more than ever! Now go ahead with your posture held high, and with tireless energy. Embrace the fire of your righteous anger, but direct it appropriately!
