Whether there are different moral virtues about different passions?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that there are not different moral virtues about different passions. For there is but one habit about things that concur in their source and end: as is evident especially in the case of sciences. But the passions all concur in one source, viz. love; and they all terminate in the same end, viz. joy or sorrow, as we stated above (Question [25], Articles [1],2,4; Question [27], Article [4]). Therefore there is but one moral virtue about all the passions.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, if there were different moral virtues about different passions, it would follow that there are as many moral virtues as passions. But this clearly is not the case: since there is one moral virtue about contrary passions; namely, fortitude, about fear and daring; temperance, about pleasure and sorrow. Therefore there is no need for different moral virtues about different passions.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, love, desire, and pleasure are passions of different species, as stated above (Question [23], Article [4]). Now there is but one virtue about all these three, viz. temperance. Therefore there are not different moral virtues about different passions.
