Kindness is the most important. Nothing matters more than compassion.

Diligence would complement me well - I do things when I have to, but I lack genuine work ethic.

Temperance is nice. But I'd never be like 'oh, my darling is so... so temperate...'

Patience would be nice when I lack it, but nonessential.

Humility is nice when not to excess.

Charity is nothing I'm too bothered about.

Chastity in the sense of abstinence until marriage really isn't something I care either way about. It's a positive after (when the whole 'not cheating on no matter what' part comes in) and neutral before. Assuming the relationship gets that far.

Keep in mind that chastity (roughly 'abstinence outside of marriage') is not the same as celibacy (none, ever.)

Temperance - Someone to temper my lack of mindfulness or I will float awaaaayy
Patience - I am boring
Kindness - Well yeah
Diligence - Fail-safe for insufficient temperance in my case, in a way

Humility - A self-obsession streak here and there is pretty ace though
Chastity - Just reeks of eh, whatever

Charity - I feel like I'm imposing when people get all generous on me

"abstinence outside of marriage" isn't a really a goal that I'm going for, ever

just as a note I looked up Chastity's definition on wikipedia

"Abstaining from sexual conduct according to one's state in life; the practice of courtly love and romantic friendship. Cleanliness through cultivated good health and hygiene, and maintained by refraining from intoxicants. To be honest with oneself, one's family, one's friends, and to all of humanity. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought-through education and betterment. The ability to refrain from being distracted and influenced by hostility, temptation or corruption."

So I would say it's more than "no sex outside of marriage", to me it would be opposing "temptation" more than "lust".

Also, new QOTD suggested: What, in your opinion, is your best post on SF? Links are desired, but a description in place of links is acceptable.

Your post about your favorite post cannot be your favorite post (who would do that anyway?).

Accepted because that is a fully sick idea.

However did you aim for it to be about terrible posts that are hilarious or about posts good by merit? For instance, would a valid vote be for HBG's 'dragging self along carpet post?

I didn't think about stuff like that, but IMO that should be decided by the poster. I'm sure there will be some people who will post more than one. I had decided on one post in particular for myself, but now I can't remember what it was :(

Patience

Humility

Kindness

Temperance

Charity

Chastity

Today:

Can't recall. His posts are good but not bookmarking good. In fact, I can't even pick a favourite post on this forum. The one in my sig, I guess?
