virtues may become a product of vices

I know there was a lot more in the question; let’s try to find the answer in a few questions that I am going to roll out;

Can we separate cause from effects?

Regardless of what our answer is to this question, do effects have a cascading impact on an individual’s personality?

Is the impact a mere reflection of nature or is it a reflection of nurture or a sundry of conditions at that very moment of impact for an individual?

How sustainable is the change that is brought about by an impact?

When and how conscience comes into play, do we require a catastrophic event to effectuate a meaningful and sententious change?

How an individual is related to a society, is one pious individual’s conduct enough to bring about change around him/her
