I am experiencing a strong desire at this moment for Alicorn to reply "Because it's the right thing to be."

It is only marginally stronger than my desire for her to reply "Because I expect it to have good results," though.

Personally, I'm a virtue ethicist because it has better outcomes. Though I reason consequentially when it's the right thing to do.
