    These are like from something right? I’d love to read through all of them in an easier format that a pile of squidward memes if that’s an option ❤️

      I just found em online, I don’t know if they are from something. I think people just made them up, which is cool

      Well this is definitely from Catholicism and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. These are all opposed by the Seven Deadly Sins, hence the title here Sins & Virtues.

      While erring on the side if caution, I will say looking these up and reading about them is definitely something you can and should do as they themselves aren’t really about religion but more about a belief system tied to the religion.

        I kinda meant the rebuttals for each of the deadly sins and heavenly virtues. I was raised catholic I know of them and where to know more. I’m mainly interested in the last panel of each of these. I was almost certain some of them were either from or based on hedonistic texts but I was curious to see if there was more than the short quips

          Thank you cuz i was wondering the exact same thing lol

          ** edit **

          Ok I went diving. Looks like someone just meme’d these in r/wiseposting like a year ago, which itself was inspired by a similar series of memes but about the 7 deadly sins + some others. They have much longer last panels. They’re just sort of general philosophical points about the sins/virtues that people have come up with but in meme form it seems.

          Temperance = you will live a middle life, buried in a middle grave.

          Patience = tides will rise regardless, fight or be swept away.

          Humility = know your worth, lest others set it for you.

          Charity = true gifts are free from expectation.

          Diligence = work is sacrifice, today is for more than tomorrow’s gain.

          Chastity = joy shared is joy multiplied, it’s lack does not create value

          Kindness = you will burn from both ends until naught is left but memory
