Entertainment / Literature / Arête: The Greek term ar????te implies a humble and constant striving for perfection and self-improvement combined with a realistic awareness that such perfection cannot be reached. As long as an individual strives to do and be the best, that individual has ar????te. As soon as the individual believes he has actually achieved ar????te, however, he or she has lost that exalted state and fallen into hubris, unable to recognize personal limitations or the humble need to improve constantly.
