Mimetic desire is a concept from the French philosopher René Girard. It refers to the idea that people often imitate the desires of others, rather than having purely individual desires. According to Girard, our desires are often shaped by observing and copying the desires of those around us, leading to social dynamics and conflicts. Mimetic desire plays a significant role in Girard's theories of human behavior and culture.

"Too many people are running from stimulation to stimulation. Mental clarity will appear after you learn to appreciate silence. Freedom from desire is the ultimate freedom."

Virtue ethics is an ethical theory that focuses on the character traits or virtues that individuals should cultivate in order to live a good and fulfilling life. It emphasises the importance of developing qualities such as honesty, courage, compassion, and wisdom, rather than following rules or maximising outcomes.
An example of virtue ethics is the virtue of honesty. Instead of simply following a rule like "never lie," a person guided by virtue ethics would strive to develop the character trait of honesty, meaning they would consistently tell the truth, be sincere in their actions, and act with integrity in all situations.
