I don't think ANY of those apply to me (which is very sad), but I chose kindness since I'm nice to people, but only people that I like. Close enough.
Temperance, patience comes as a close second and kindness as a third. I got a bit of everything except the first one. Wait until marriage? Oh please...
Definitely. I have perhaps two virtues, and six sins (no lust)Cheveyo said:
Anyway, with all my desire to murder and such, controlling myself is number 1, preventing any more time in psych wards (or something new - prison).
I'm Patience, i've been waiting for Half Life Ep3 and have not gotten ANGRY about them keeping a tite lip.
Say that about Duke Nukem Forever and I will give it to you.sephiroth1991 said:
The point was to offset the "what sin are you" thread to be ironic (is that the word I am trying to think of?). The 7 Heavenly Virtues were made to offset and atone for your 7 Deadly Sins you committed earlier that day.Macgyvercas said:
If you don't mind I am going to call bullshit on that(with all due respect). Libido is just your drive for selfishness or your ID. It is your "want center" if you will. If you want a video game, your libido is active. If you want food, your libido is active. Sadly libido has been mainly used as "sexual libido" which is inaccurate. I will not argue that you have no sexual libido though. Aside from that to be chaste (according to this virtue) you not only need to abstain from sexual desires, but from things like lying and lust (not just from lust of the human body). I will admit that this is the most confusing one and even I was misinformed when I made the topic.Erana said:
I had to go with diligence in the poll. Some of each of these makes up my character (except chastity of course, pshhh) but I would say the most prominent for me is diligence, or using a term I just made up, the antisloth. I'm very goal oriented and ambitious, and when I do anything I do it as well as I fucking can or not at all.
Thanks for the informative reply.crudus said:
Still, I think this qualifies for me. I don't desire for much stuff, really. My father's a hoarder, and he's really put me off wanting things for the sake of want. I haven't been in many physically demanding situations, though, so I don't know who I'd be in extreme times.
I've done my share of lying, but I don't have any deep secrets or great deceptions.
I generally abstain from virtues and pursue vices instead. If I were forced to pick a single virue that I am most likely to follow, it would be diligence. I fundamentally fail at the whole temprance thing (sampling all the vices and virtues implies that) and while I am rarely intentionally an outright braggart, I'm quite certain my confidence in myself and my abilities probably does not bode well for humility. I failed at chastity the first time the opportunity arose and I have the attention span of a meth addicted squirrel so I'm not likely to win any awards for patience. Intense cynicism and often misanthropic outlook on the world probably rule out heart for me as well.
Charity. I always go out of my way to help people as much as I can... even if they've never once appreciated any of it.
