I have often said that any situation where you can find something to laugh at, is one that can’t get the better of you. I don’t know if it’s a fool’s hope, or a fool’s weapon, but sometimes, all you can do is pick up and continue on. When you know what you’re doing must be done- it’s sometimes just what you have to do.

I guess since I’ve spent a week on the seven deadly sins, I should take a peek at the virtues. (is it sad that I have to look them up?) prudence, justice, temperance, courage (or fortitude), faith, hope, and charity. Some are easier than others, some of them require balance, justice and temperance balance each other… Courage, faith, and hope tend to work together.

Trying to find where they seven deadly sins (vs the Seven Virtues) I found that while they are religious in nature – the closest list of seven in the bible comes from proverbs:
A proud (vain) look
A lying tongue.
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that deviseth wicked acts
Feet that be swift in running to mischief
A false witness that speaketh lies
He that soweth discord among brethren
Today’s Prompt: A lying tongue that sheds innocent blood
