How are virtues and vices related to each other?

This question appears in the Paradise of the Fathers: “An old man was asked, ‘How does a monk acquire virtue?’ He replied, ‘If anyone wants to acquire virtue, if he does not hate the vice that opposes it, then he cannot acquire it. If you wish to bewail, detest laughter; if you want to be humble, detest arrogance; and if you wish to control your inclinations, detest evil and do not distort matters. And whoever wants to be ascetic must detest the love of silver; whoever wants to live in the wilderness must detest the cities; whoever craves tranquility must cease to guide others; whoever wants to be estranged from his habits must not mix (with other people); whoever wishes to control his anger must relinquish his will; and whoever wants wishes to control his belly must relinquish the pleasures and company of worldly people. He who desires not to harbor resentment must hate [seeking out] defects; and those who cannot bear the burden of responsibilities must live in solitude. Whoever wishes to control his tongue must block his ears so as not to hear much. And whoever desires to attain to the fear of God must detest the comforts of the flesh, but rather love tribulation and sorrow. With these qualities, you can worship God sincerely.’”
