The Human Animal (Animals)

dhw lists the Seven Deadly Sins as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony, and Wikipedia seems to agree, so the list must be right! But isn't gluttony the same as greed? What about lying? Isn't that a sin?-dhw asks us for a list of Seven Saving Graces. By simply looking in a thesaurus that gives antonyms as well as synonyms I have come up with the following opposites of my modified list of the sins (though the dictionary wasn't very helpful with lust and envy): happiness, temperance, industriousness, humility, quietude, sharing, and honesty. All rather longer words. I wonder if that is significant?
