I'm sure all of us are aware of the Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy, and Gluttony.
What may be less familiar to some are the Seven Virtues: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility.
My sins would probably be Wrath, Sloth and Envy.
Even though I don't agree with the majority of them being a sin, those from the list are my choices. Now, why don't I consider them sins? Well, that's not the best way to illustrate my attitude towards them. I simply don't agree with them being so absolute.
Specifically wrath, greed, lust, envy. As long as you keep them inside and don't divulge them in a negatively-affecting manner to someone else, they're fine in my eyes.
Now sloth and gluttony, depends. Sloth's fine in my eyes, too, if it doesn't affect someone else (or their life) negatively. If it's just you on a Sunday morning, wanting to rather just waste away the day in bed, who's to say you can't? And besides, when you're over the edge and too tired, who's to say you can't be slothful, at least for a time?
And the thing with gluttony is that, okay, there are others who need food, while you waste it, the gluttonous pig you are, but some of us don't even know where to start giving it to those who need it, and unless you have a metric shit ton of food to give away, there's not much places to go to "give away food".
And pride, well. I don't really understand what's wrong with pride, unless you're being a douche and boasting with it at every step.
My virtues, on the other hand, would probably be temperance (well, still relatively young, so haven't indulged in the spirits that much), patience, kindness and humility.
From those four, I'd say humility is the most prominent one. I'm only
not boastful if I'm doing it sarcastically, or if someone really assures me in something and encourages me to acknowledge the opposite of what my humility forces me to think.
