The Seven Deadly Sins

Note: This is just for discussion purposes. I'm not sure how accurate or useful it is...

The Seven Deadly Sins are an obvious candidate for the Universal-Plan.

The Seven Virtues are included too.

It seems a pretty good fit, and the sins/virtues seem reasonably well matched as opposites.

This list needs more thinking through and the concepts need more detailed definitions. In theory, the end result would be a map of human motivations that should help in understanding people. The map might help define how to change sins into virtues.

Principle	Function	Sin (Yin)	Virtue (Yang)	Notes
Fire	Will, Desire, Intent	Wrath / Anger	Patience	We get angry when our will is denied. [love of ones own will]
Voice	Make Will into Law	Envy	Kindness	Envy/kindness inevitably involves voice: 'I wish...'. [love of status]
Air	Law, Path, Design	Greed	Charity	Law is our rules we live by. Is the rule to aquire, or to provide? [love of receiving]
Heart	Make Law into Action	Pride	Humility	Pride is experienced in the heart. ("His heart swelled with pride.") [love of self]
Water	Action, Power, Motion	Gluttony	Temperance	Water = stomach & action, thus Gluttony. [love of food/consumption]
Sex	Bring Earth into Motion	Lust	Chastity	These are clearly related to the Sex principle. [love of sex]
Earth	Location, Locomotion	Sloth	Diligence	Sloth is passivity, and this is the 'rest-day'... [love of rest]
