The 7 Vices & Virtues
from A Drink With a Friend Hosted by Tsh Oxenreider
We’ve all heard of the seven deadly sins, but what good does it do to think about them in our modern, well-intentioned lives? Maybe more to the point — why does contemplating about them bring us hope? It’s because of their corresponding virtues. Seth and Tsh talk about what this looks like in their own lives. As a reference, here are the seven pairs of vices and virtues: Pride: A desire for excellence in excess of right reason Humility: A rightly-ordered estimation of excellence Gluttony: A disordered desire for good things Temperance: A desire to keep good things in their rightful place Lust: A disordered desire for pleasure Chastity: A rightly-ordered desire for pleasure Envy: Sorrow for another’s good Love: To will the good of the other Greed: A desire for more than is needed Generosity/charity: A desire for enough for all Anger: A desire for vengeance contrary to reason Meekness: Power under control Sloth: Sorrow for spiritual good; the absence of care Diligence: Taking care to do what we value most Seth: Newsletter | Website Tsh: Newsletter | Website Pick up a round of drinks & help keep the show going Come to Italy with us!
