everybody talks about the seven deadly sins but nobody cares about the seven alively virtues. making a sandwich for a friend, sleep over, taking your partner's desk dishes to the sink, seeing a doggie and waving at it, fucking in a sexual way, being nice to waiters, and indulgence

in reply to @spookybiscuits's post:
There are quite literally seven heavenly virtues made to complement the sins. As wiki puts it, they combine the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude with the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. I think all of these examples fit under at least one of those
I was just about to comment myself how much importance Catholics assign the virtues.
Agh, I always hate the "charity" translation. Maybe it was more appropriate centuries ago, but it's been thoroughly metonymized into plain generosity, which is merely one facet of the idea. Agape shouldn't be something that a rich person can objectively do better than a poor person. But maybe that was unavoidable...
