Excellent point. I believe Tearlach and others have had this particular
(or one very very similar to it) at their vigil to contemplate on.
Apropos considering a vigil has more than a little religious
significance.

So we have another set of virtues, more than likely the initial
groundwork for any medieval set of chivalric virtues. Here is a good
history of the sins...http://deadlysins.com/sins/history.html. This site
dates the original set of deadly sins some time in the 4th century by
Evagrius of Pontus. Just more proof that in the long run it's best for
people to find a list they are comfortable with, yet still manages to
covers as many bases as possible.
