Nine Virtues

[MargaretR]

We have had a thread about 'seven deadly sins', and there are ten commandments.
Instead of being so negative saying 'thou shalt not'
...admire yourself for having some of the nine virtues.
...it's time to 'accentuate the positive...', and feel good about yourself.

1 Courage
2 Truth
3 Honour
4 Fidelity
5 Discipline
6 Hospitality
7 Self Reliance
8 Industriousness
9 Perseverance

This is not a poll- too may folk claiming to have all nine will cause #2 to be a lie

Nine Noble Virtues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I rate low on '8'(Industriousness), but very high on '7'(Self Reliance) and '2'(Truth) - haven't told a lie for nine years, honest.

I can honestly say that 8 are true about me Margaret

I am truly a virtuous person - ask anyone who knows me...
But :
1. I'm a coward
2. I tell lies
3. Am thoroughly disreputable
4. I have sometimes been un-faithful
5. I am the epitomy of indiscipline
6. The older i get the more I prefer my own company
7. I am clingy and very needy of my friends
8. Lackadaisical is my middle name
9. I am inconstant and only pester if it serves my own ends....

Less virtue more virtuosism? Live life to the full

very low on 7-self reliance, but usually know a man that can. not sure about 1-courage, if don't give a rats n stupidity count then its a yes, the rest i'm ok wi.

I am virtueless.

Instead I have my three (saving) graces.

Kelly, Jones, and Fields.

It's the arthritis 'innit ...

Number two definately applies to me. So I can't deny the other eight apply as well.

Payback Mark 2: Fave scene of the lovely Harrison -he can't dance for toffee but is still gorgeous even though he only has limited expressions as an actor...!

[mobertol]

I want to do everything too.....!

I have to echo mobertol on this for more or less exactly the same reasons. (especially No.6.)

Ya I think number six applies to me too Bob, only I don't have much choice in the matter
