Disclaimer: Disney's (and St. Augustine's)
Author's Note: This is based on the Seven Holy Virtues / Seven Deadly Sins Challenge: take a character, any fandom and write seven drabbles based on each of the seven virtues and seven based on the seven sins. I cheated and used a lot of different characters. (Pirate.) But they are exactly 100 words apiece.
Seven Holy Virtues: Augustine conceived of history as a dramatic struggle between the good in humanity, as expressed in loyalty to the "city of God," or community of saints, and the evil in humanity, as embodied in the earthly city with its material values. His view of human life was pessimistic, asserting that happiness is impossible in the world of the living, where even with good fortune, which is rare, awareness of approaching death would mar any tendency toward satisfaction. He believed further that without the religious virtues of faith, hope, and charity, which require divine grace to be attained, a person cannot develop the natural virtues of courage (fortitude), justice, temperance, and wisdom (prudence). His analyses of time, memory, and inner religious experience have been a source of inspiration for metaphysical and mystical thought. -- "Philosophy, Western," Microsoft® Encarta® Online Encyclopedia 2003Seven Deadly Sins: Classification of sins: pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. There is no foundation in the Bible for this classification, but the above list has been found in the works of several spiritual writers and theologians, including Saint Thomas Aquinas, a leading Roman Catholic theologian during the 13th century. Aquinas slightly modified the earlier lists of Saint John Climacus and Saint Gregory the Great. These seven sins are not singled out because they are all grievous sins or because of their severity, but because they are the inevitable source of other sins. -- "Seven Deadly Sins," Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99.
