Parrhesia Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Probably, most people drink alcohol (or have used an intoxicating substance) which basically rules it out automatically That would be temperance though, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 That would be temperance though, surely? Chastity is zero tolerance so it doesn't apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 In the Christian tradition, chastity is synonymous with sexual purity. Chastity means not having any sexual relations before marriage. It also means fidelity to husband or wife during marriage. In Catholic morality, chastity is placed opposite the deadly sin of lust, and is classified as one of seven virtues. The moderation of sexual desires is required to be virtuous. Reason, will and desire can harmoniously work together to do what is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esme Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm the hidden eighth virtue: Fine as hell. But, no, really, I can't really decide which one I ascribe to the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You might want to ask them what they meant by Chastity then. Either way, Temperance wouldn't apply to a zero-tolerance policy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Temperance wouldn't apply to a zero-tolerance policy like that. temperance makes more sense for 'not drinking' than chastity, I never said I necessarily agreed with that specific definition, only that it made more sense Question 282. What is the most beautiful object you've ever seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Can it be a person? Assuming no... The earth itself, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esme Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I had watched a video of a musician playing this huge harp. I was mesmerized not only by the music that was being played but also by how magnificently crafted that instrument was. Ever since then I've always wanted to own a harp of my own. Anyway, I'd definitely say that that particular harp is the most beautiful object I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) From up-close? I guess the ruins of Persepolis, probably one of the big lion man thing statues specifically. I don't really know though, I've seen many beautiful objects and I can't really choose or remember. :x Edited May 27, 2014 by Nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 the earth itself is the most beautiful thing we've seen thus far, in our whole 200,000 years of life. however, i don't think the earth counts, as it's too obvious an answer. so instead: [spoiler=jupiter] my favorite celestial body. it's not just aesthetically beautiful--neptune or saturn would more easily take that title--it's the combination of that with its physical properties and its history that make me almost giddy when i look at it.

peener weener Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 i dunno if it counts as an object but the sights that have moved me the most are all the sky. cloud formations, lights dancing, the beautiful starry night. it's teenage as fuck and possibly the single most used subject in shitty poetry lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiodi Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Watching the sun rise on acid mighta been the most beautiful damn thing I'd ever seen. Not condoning drug use, but man it was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I dunno, I think people can be considered objects (do objects have to not move or something?) But now that I know you don't want people to count...~ Integrity's hair Tbh I think some of the most beautiful things I've seen were things I imagined up in my dreams... my mind just loves making up pretty things I guess~ Like this lovely looking ravine with lots of plant life and waterfalls/creeks everywhere and a giant pickle Or two tall tall glaciers (I guess they were glaciers) that were more transparent than they needed to be that glowed rainbow colours from the sun and were split apart with a river going through the middle of them and I was in that river surrounded by rainbowy walls of ice. Oh wait maybe technically none of those are objects either..... ;u; B-but if they were actually real I'd include them certainly~! I can't really come up with what are the most beautiful objects I've seen... Besides Integrity's hair~ Edited May 27, 2014 by Freohr Datia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen so many glorious things and will see more glorious things. So i think im going to have to go with the world itself. Its ugly at times, but stunningly beautiful.
