The 13 Virtues
Allen October 19th, 2005
I note that the D*I*Y Planner (I use the HipsterPDA pack from them) has a new website — no longer directly affiliated with a million monkeys typing.
All of the above said to point to a rather "neat" site that explains Ben Franklin’s 13 virtues: Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Chastity, Tranqulity and Humility.
Starting at age 20, Ben would note when he failed to perform a task as he lived his life — stressing one virture each week. After 13 weeks, we would start the process over. As he grew older, he went through the series only once a year and then once every several years. I don’t know if this is because of boredom or because older age brings with it its own temperance.
Be that as it may, hPDA may now print out their own sheet for scoring your life.
