SIGNIFICANCE IN PSYCHOLOGY
Some things are just bad (for you and/or for those around you), and those things are better to quash or eliminate than try to parlay into a positive. But those vices are probably a small number of behaviors or attachments that make up a minority of your overall repertoire. They may significantly or insignificantly impact your life, and worthy of some or a lot of attention required to stop them, but they may not be directly converted into assets. Moral/immoral aspect and say that a vice is generally a habitual or repetitive tendency, behavior or activity that imparts a negative effect. Negative patterns, if you will. They are a cause of angst, frustration, disappointment or other negative emotions for the person with the vice, and often a cause of concern, dismay, anger or other negative emotions on those around the person, especially those in close relationship with the person. Everyone has, or has had, or will have a vice or vices. Likewise, everyone has been, is being or will be affected by others because of their vice or vices. How we cope, how others cope, how people work on themselves, how successful they are in efforts to change. These are all part of life and being human. It is a universal phenomenon. The positive side of things simply this: most of your vices can be converted into assets if you apply yourself to examining them, distilling them and converting them. Basically, you engage in a similar process, but use the tendencies in different ways.
