The elements of the 7 virtues include things that help you do good things throughout your life, these theological and cardinal virtues are;
Faith
Hope
Love
Prudence
Justice
Fortitude &
Temperance.
Each of these have a positive meaning and create us to have a positive effect on our lives, everyone has different thoughts and feelings towards these virtues, the main virtues that tend to connect with them the most are the ones that they are motivated by to do certain things. throughout our life we discover what we think are our motivations and we live by them as they help us do things that we decide is good. In everyday life these aspects convince us to do the right thing, without them we wouldn't have motivation to do anything good, leaving us with negative thoughts and feelings that create us to avoid the good and display evilness. Out of all these virtues, the ones that effect my life the most are faith love and hope, they motivate me to do good things but also bad things sometimes, some things I regret. Faith and love allows you to forgive people ,to trust them and have complete confidence in them, this can be a good thing in my life, because they let me become close to people and to form strong friendships, which allows me to have complete faith in these people as i love them and believe in them. I believe in god and have faith in him, I know that he loves me and looks after me, i know that whatever happens i will always have him by my side, faith is good because it has allowed me to believe in god. Love is a great thing, as it also leads to having faith in someone, i love my family, and i have complete trust in them, because i know they have faith in me, and that love me too. Having hope helps me to take risks and believe that the outcome will be positive, when i am doing something that is difficult i always have hope that i am doing it for a good cause, or that whatever will happen will be good, it helps me strive to do things out of my comfort zone, to complete things that i think is hard. Prudence however is my weakness, i am not good at handling serious situations, concentrating on what i am doing and how the outcome will be is hard for me. I need to think about what i am doing more, and why and how it will effect the future and if the outcome will be good or bad. I need to work on prudence because i'm not focused on what i am doing and i don't think before i act.
The seven deadly sins motivate us to do things that aren't necessarily good and lead us into evilness. The 7 deadly sins are;
Pride
Envy
Gluttony
Lust
Anger
Greed &
Slothfulness
These elements cause me to do bad things and motivate the negative side of me, everyone isn't all good, they all have deadly sins that influence them to do bad things, whether they want to or not, there will be something that makes the evil side of them come out.Each of these have a really bad influence on me, they make me want to ignore the good and do things that only benefit my self, not others, or my future. The ones that most effect me are envy and slothfulness, although we don't like to be bad at all , we all have it in us no matter what. For slothfulness, it means the avoidance of physical or spiritual work including not acting when one should. Not all the time but sometimes I do things that only benefit myself, and i don't help other people, but i should more and i should help people when they are in trouble, even if it means disadvantaging myself. I sometimes tend to not think about how bad the situation is for someone else and i do nothing about it as if i don't care, i need to stop letting slothfulness convince me to do bad things and have more hope and faith. Envy makes you want more and more, and that's how I sometimes act towards things, when have everything i need i just keep wanting more, even tho i don't need it. Whenever i start to be happy with what i have, i realize all the things i'm missing and want them as well, envy can sometimes actually lead to being sad as well. I also sometimes get things to make myself feel better even if i don't need them and other people deserve it more.
