Ugh... I forgot all these and we just learned them last year. WHY!
Can we put a list in the OP for those of us who are too lazy to look?
I am now known as Flyboy.I suppose Temperance for me. The whole "restraint" thing works nicely with my Sloth vice.
Chastity works too.

Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!I think I would best represent chastity and charity the most of all the virtues.

Patience would be the main one for me.
Yes, so much patience at times.
The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.I know there was a thread on this in Yack Fest, but I can't find anything about "virtues" in a forum search.
That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something AwfulI don't think you can claim chastity if you aren't getting any due to circumstance rather than choice
I would say patience is my only real virtue
Felt the same way, then added Chastity as an afterthought because it does fit me as being a choice and there are other qualities attributed to Chastity that fit me.

Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!Kindness, maybe? I certainly value it in principle, whether or not I actually live up to it.

I can't recall any of the Christian lists by memory so I'll go with The Brahmavihara, one of Buddhism's two sets of virtues. The later one The Ten Qualities include The Brahmavihara along with six others needed for Enlightenment.
So. BRAHMAVIHARA. They are empathetic joy, equanimity, loving kindness, and compassion/mercy. I respect all of these highly. I suppose I would say that loving kindness is what I best represent out of these though I could do much more in that category and the other three.

Temperance (Gluttony)
Charity (Greed)
Diligence (Sloth)
Patience (Wrath)
Kindness (Envy)
Humility (Pride)

They lost me. Forgot me. Made you from parts of me. If you're the One, my father's son, what am I supposed to be?Wow I am none of those. To be honest, I like the sins better, so I'll stick with them.
Hell I'm already going to hell in three religions. I'm actually aiming for 5, so I need to step up my game.

"Atheism is the religion whose followers are easiest to troll"KINDNESS. Or maybe patience.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah^^ I guess I've changed my mind since I posted in that thread—I now think I'm more humble than I thought I was then (in the sense that I've realized just how much I beat myself up for my failings and weaknesses.) I'll grant that I'm not pure, though, and I might not be considered charitable, depending on how it's defined (I judge other people harshly when they fail to fulfill their own standards.)
That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something AwfulProbably Compassion, Charity, Then temperance, in that order. Balancing out Sloth, Jealousy, and Wrath.
"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"Kindness (When people don't piss me off I'm usually eager to help) and generosity (when I've got stuff, I typically share it with those I give a damn about).

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.No, and valuing kindness wouldn't make me not a prick.

I am now known as Flyboy.This is a duplicate of a YF thread. Locking
Now that we have a Seven Sins thread, what is the Heavenly Virtue you feel you express the most?
Please state the list you're going by; it can either be the Seven ones, the four cardinal ones, etc.
