However, you may learn moral goodness, but that is the result of habit. The only way to improve is with time, practice and encouragement. Furthermore, if someone is not virtuous or does not have good morals, he just needs a better teacher or to practice it more. Keep in mind that Aristotle also believes that you cannot be virtuous if you are ugly, poor, or a woman. . Because how could you give advice and communicate with others if you were ugly, and how could you give to the poor or be generous if you were too poor? Women on the other hand, according to what Aristotle thought, were simply not capable of being a virtuous person. Jesus, however, has many different beliefs. He believes that there is a certain way of living to achieve greater things in the afterlife. Because doing the right thing for God is the way we all need to live. It can sometimes seem very radical. For example, Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount "Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery" and "If you say, 'You fool,' you will go to hell."
