    Default Virtues and Vices in the Playground

    I'm curious as to how you all would order your strongest motivations. I currently believe mine are:

    {table=head]Rank|
    Virtue
    |
    Vice

    1st|
    Charity
    |
    Sloth

    2nd|
    Prudence
    |
    Wrath

    3rd|
    Justice
    |
    Pride

    4th|
    Fortitude
    |
    Lust

    5th|
    Temperance
    |
    Gluttony

    6th|
    Hope
    |
    Greed

    7th|
    Faith
    |
    Envy
    [/table]

    Do you have to use the seven deadly sins, or did you just decide to?

    For that matter, where does your list of virtues come from? And should we use the same list?

    Seven catholic virtues.

    Hmm, interesting idea.

    {table=head]Rank|
    Virtue
    |
    Vice

    1st|
    Love/Charity
    |
    Sloth

    2nd|
    Justice
    |
    Pride

    3rd|
    Prudence
    |
    Wrath

    4th|
    Courage/Fortitude
    |
    Greed

    5th|
    Restraint/Temperance
    |
    Lust

    6th|
    Hope
    |
    Gluttony

    7th|
    Faith
    |
    Envy
    [/table]

    For those who want to see the Virtues and Sins described in some more detail, follow those links. Keep in mind that there's a second list of virtues, I just used the one appearing higher up on the page. It appears to be the more "official" one.

    It'll be from the associated Christian virtues, which are a combination of Augustine's adaptation of the Platonic virtues and the three theological virtues from Corinthians.

    Faith
    |
    Wrath

    7th|
    Hope
    |
    Gluttony
    [/table]

    I'm much less certain about the virtues than I am about the vices. Also it should really be noted that ranking the virtues and vices gives no indication of possible weightings.

    The virtues were harder to rank. Couldn't decide which one to put first.

    My virtues as I consider them, though I am a protestant:

    1. Restraint/Temperance. This is very important to me, for example I don't drink alcohole, but, being just a man, I often fall short of my goals
    2. Love/Charity
    3. Justice
    4. Hope
    5. Faith
    6. Prudence
    7. Fortitude


    Here are my vices:

    1. Pride
    2. Gluttony
    3. Sloth
    4. Wrath
    5. Lust
    6. Greed
    7. Envy

    Hah! I'd just like to point out that I am an agnostic that was raised Adventist, and spent a short run toying with LeVayan Satanism. Given the wonky backround, I've come to feel very strongly that balance between the 14 is the true ideal as opposed to one set of 7 or the other. Roughly speaking, the Virtues stem from Charity (care for others) while the Vices all stem from Pride (care for one's self). If one gets carried away with the former, they end up a martyr. Too far into the latter, and they become a sociopath. That's my view anyway.

    Sorry, it gave me an idea for a simmilar question; what values do you think are the "best"? (Charity, self-dependence, etc, etc. (these are examples, not what I think are good) And, what do you despise the most? (Dishonesty, etc.)

    Anyway,

    Virtues:

    1. Prudence
    2. Charity
    3. Fortitude
    4. Faith (I'm choosing to mean this as "How much you believe in what you believe in, and not in a religious context. I mean, how much do you value your views?)
    5. Hope (Same as above, meaning "hope that what you are doing is right.)
    6. Justice
    7. Temperance

    Vices:

    1. Sloth
    2. Pride
    3. Gluttony
    4. Wrath
    5. Lust
    6. Envy
    7. Greed

    Now, someone analyse the data and conference with a team of sociologists and psychologists. Have the write up on my desk by Thursday.

    Also, did anyone else use the bubble sort algorithm on this one? Just to annoy all those computer programmers.

    Here's mine. It's probably going to change in 2 days anyway, so this is right now: (I haven't heard of the "7 deadly sins" all together in 2 years...wow. That's amazing. Compared to how I hear the 7 good ones every single week [except Fortitude. I put Mercy above most of these, but I suppose it fits in Charity], though never all together.) (And I'm not Catholic, so that explains why I hear things differently)

    ...Man, those deadly sins were hard to place. I mean, they so rarely come up that I almost forgot about them.
    (And the weighting is way off than what this graph makes it appear. Use your imagination to interpret that as you may) And...I appear to have written too many side-comments. Time to delete some.

    Basically I'm a pretty easygoing and pleasant guy, but I do have a bad temper and I can be lazy.

    In both sets, I had three that were pretty much equal (Hope, Charity and Faith/Lust,Wrath, and Greed) and I just had to pick one for each spot, but the others are pretty well put in place.

    The virtues aren't terribly solid here on my part. While I feel I have Patience, Humility, and Diligence down pretty extensively and in the right order at the top, I think I have Kindness, Temperance, and Charity in about equal measure.

    Now, I can make a new list for what I WISH these were like for me, and what I work towards...

    Note: I did the Heavenly Virtues not the Cardinal Virtues.
