Characters Who Embody the Seven Heavenly Virtues
Includes a couple real-life people as well.
Chastity is pretty self-explanatory. It’s being celibate, sexually continent, and not cultivating any sexual thoughts or desires that may come up in your mind.
Temperance is avoiding hedonism. Hedonism includes addictive foods and eating for entertainment instead of nourishment, as well as smoking, drinking, taking drugs, gambling, and all other addictive processes. Temperance is enjoying simple pleasures instead, and having the prudence to choose long-term goals and productive work over escapism and instant gratification.
Charity is giving. It’s sacrificing something of your own, including your own life, for the benefit of someone else. It’s the natural joy of giving to someone without desiring anything in return that comes from loving someone.
Industry is working hard. It’s doing the best work you can possibly do, being as productive and useful as possible, and being happy in your usefulness. It’s also perseverance and fortitude, continuing to try hard in the face of mistakes, setbacks, losses, and obstacles.
Patience is forgiveness. It’s continuing to try to connect to, communicate with, understand and help people after they have hurt you or someone you care about. It’s choosing mercy over vengeance, and restoration over retribution or restitution. Patience is also forbearance, showing the true depth of your goodness by remaining good in the face of seemingly unbearable hardship, suffering, and difficult circumstances.
Benevolence is compassion and sympathy for others, especially when most people would turn away from that person with judgments, condemnation, or fear. It’s trust and kindness and basic goodness, the sort of nonjudgmental support, sensitivity to other’s feelings and pain, and unconditional desire to help in big or small ways that marks out the really good people in this world.
Humility is the desire to serve others, with no desire for reward, recompense, praise, fame, or aggrandizement, or even recognition, for one’s service. It’s also being brave enough to do what you know it right, no matter what the costs are to yourself, and even in the face of fear, uncertainty, intimidation, threat of punishment, or social pressures. This includes living honorably, always keeping your word, and listening to your conscience, and doing it all just because you know it's the right thing to do and not because you expect to get rewarded.
