virtuous life
Ethically guided path
A virtuous life is one guided by moral excellence and ethical conduct—living according to principles like honesty, courage, compassion, and integrity.
The phrase often carries religious or philosophical weight, suggesting deliberate cultivation of good character rather than mere rule-following: She dedicated herself to a virtuous life after her conversion.
In classical philosophy, the virtuous life was considered the path to human flourishing.
