It has the power to create the pleasant life, eudaimonia.
~Prudence/ reason -> Choice and Avoidance -> Connection with honour (choosing your values) and with justice ( reflecting/ choosing your behaviour with others) =>for less Pain greater Pleasure
~Honour-> Choosing your values using Prudence and Justice for that =>for less Pain greater Pleasure
~Justice-> Relation to Others -> Consider your Values (Honour) and choosing your actions and Agreements wisely (Prudence) =>for less Pain greater Pleasure
All support each other for the pleasant/eudaimomt life like a powerful almost magic chain 🙂

Letter to Menoceus:
„Of all this the beginning and the greatest good is prudence. Wherefore prudence is a more precious thing even than philosophy: for from prudence are sprung all the other virtues, and it teaches us that it is not possible to live pleasantly without living prudently and honorably and justly, (nor, again, to live a life of prudence, honor, and justice) without living pleasantly. For the virtues are by nature bound up with the pleasant life, and the pleasant life is inseparable from them“
