All virtue is integral. You cannot take just one piece of it without the others, otherwise you end up with vice.
Prudence, or low time preference behavior, must be integrated with fortitude and justice, otherwise you just become a miser.
Fortitude, or courage, without prudence or temperance turns you into a degenerate gambler.
Justice without fortitude or temperance turns you into a keyboard warrior who never acts.
Seek virtue as a whole, not just the part that happens to be useful to you right now.
