Since when is ‘ambition’ considered a vice?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Deadly_Sins
Greed is considered a ‘sin’ or vice, but ambition and greed are not the same.
Since sloth IS a vice, one would have to presume that ambition, being the antithesis of sloth would NOT be a sin.
In Law;
1. A defect; a fault; an error; a blemish; an imperfection; as, the vices of a political constitution; the vices of a horse.
Which leads one to wonder why you consider Ambition, the source of ALL advancement in the Human condition, to be a defect or flaw.
Maybe that word doesn’t mean what you think it does.
