I dont know who the hell this Prudence chick is you want me to use, but
whorey dont play that.
The word I wanted to use was FORTITUDE....AS in , do you have the Solid
Foundations to do whats in your best interest EVEN when given the
appealing options to screw yourself long term.
Its a word of strength, of proaction, of weight.
The use of the word is right.
AS shown by this little entry from www.dict.org
Fortitude \For"ti*tude\, n. [L. fortitudo, fr. fortis strong.
See Fort.]
2. That strength or firmness of mind which enables a person
to encounter danger with coolness and courage, or to bear
pain or adversity without murmuring, depression, or
despondency; passive courage; resolute endurance; firmness
in confronting or bearing up against danger or enduring
trouble.
Extolling patience as the truest fortitude.
--Milton.
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other
virtues. --Locke.
