But before dealing with that* – what about other vices? Are there any?

I tried** with Fear, Hatred and Brutality. But Fear is not a vice: simply a psychological reaction, often perfectly justified: as in Fear of the Lord. Fortitude is not its opposite, simply the most direct way of overcoming it: it may be possible to see all the radial relationships between Virtues and Vices in these terms, i.e. the Inner Circle way of overcoming the Outer Circle problems.

Hatred is simply a directed form of Anger.***

Brutality is really act rather than intent.****

Perhaps the Seven Deadlies really do sum up all the Vices.#
