"One man's meat is another man's poison."

There are no absolute "virtues" or "vices," just as there is no absolute good or evil. The most apparently fundamental of all ethical codes is not without exception. "Thou shalt not kill" - and yet ole IHVH Himself orders murder on occasions to numerous to count. But the more important point is that as people are different, so differ the courses of conduct appropriate to each. Heat is a "virtue" in hot dogs but a "vice" in ice cream. It's the same with people! lol.

The old list still applies pretty well today...

The original seven deadly sins were so declared by Pope Gregory the Great (d. 604). They are as follows:

1. Superbia--Pride
2. Invidia--Envy
3. Ira--Anger
4. Avaritia--Avarice
5. Tristia--Sadness
6. Gula--Gluttony
7. Luxuria--Lust

The sin ‘Tristia’ was later replaced by ‘Accidia’, or Sloth.

The seven holy virtues are:

1. Chastity (Latin, castitas) (purity, opposes lust, Latin luxuria) —
Courage and boldness. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment. Practicing proper love and its expression due to one's spiritual vocation.

2. Abstinence (Latin, frenum) (self-control, opposes gluttony, Latin gula) —Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.

3. Liberality (Latin, liberalitas) (will, generosity, opposes greed, Latin avaritia) —Generosity. Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions.

4. Diligence (Latin, industria) (ethics, opposes sloth, Latin acedia) —A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Acting energetically without excessive reflection.

5. Kindness (Latin, patientia) (peace, opposes wrath, Latin ira) —
Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.

6. Patience (Latin, humanitas) (satisfaction, opposes envy, Latin invidia) —Charity, compassion, friendship, and sympathy without prejudice and for its own sake.

7. Humility (Latin, humilitas) (modesty, opposes pride, Latin superbia) —Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.

The Seven Holy Virtues were derived from the Psychomachia ('Contest of the Soul'), an epic poem written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius (c. 410) entailing the battle of good virtues and evil vices.


This hierarchy of virtue and sin captured the imagination of medeival writers and artists, and they appeared in many peoms and paintings including Dante's Inferno.
