Virtues are generally disregarded by those who seek instant gratification.

Most of the times that I bring up the concept of virtue to my peers in age they seem either confused with the concept or contemptuous of it. They behave like virtue is a purely religious thing, yet caution in the face of possible danger is a very basic survival skill.

That's probably because you're talking about 'virtue' as an abstract quality, rather than good decision making as a practical framework.
