Somehow I got hung up trying to come up with a post on virtues without much research and I still want something to post so here goes.
Virtue (n.)- asset, good quality, good feature, desirable quality, good value, good worth, high merit, high calibre.
Doesn’t it all sound so good? I then got to remember the opposite and decided it’d be the opposite that I’d focus on coz somehow it’s a bit easier expounding on that without having to do much research on my part.
Vice- a practice or habit that is considered immoral, depraved, and/or degrading in the associated society.
When you think of virtues goodness come to mind and it’s just that simple to think of all the good things one should and can do. But when it comes to vices we seldom really look at what we ought not to do. We look at the top line veils and we know ‘we don’t do that’ and leave the rest to imagination as we consider our ‘small evils’ not worth mentioning.
So I’m just going to just pick seven from the Bible and leave you to ponder on them. It’s what I consider to be a very succinct summary of vices we all push back and are guilty of most of the times. I’m bringing them up becoz the Lord abhors them
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.- PROVERBS 6:18-19
