I was gonna do a list of sins, but basically I haven't killed anyone or slept with anyone's wife.
- Chastity--
- Abstaining from sexual conduct according to one's state in life. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment.
- I think I've got that one covered. My state in life is single. I think I'm pretty moral according to my definition of morality and we all know that I'm trying to get educated and better myself.
- Temperence--
- Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.
- I'm mindful of others, but I control myself too much which is the opposite of moderation. Meh
- Charity--
- Generosity. Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions.
- I got that :)
- Diligence--
- A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Budgeting one's time; monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness.
- Again, I do it too much which is the opposite of moderation. I'm trying to curb it though and even getting help in the form of Yaya making me do things for fun I.E. Rockband even when we have Qur'an homework...See there, it's hard.
- Patience--
- Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.
- For the most part I don't resort to violence, but I'm definitely a forgiver.
- Kindness
- Charity, compassion, friendship, and empathy without prejudice and for its own sake.
- Ask Robbie and Yaya. I got that shit on lock.
- Humility
- Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.
- There's a thin line between self-worth and narcissism. I'm working on finding it.
