:-) thanks Coug for your kind wishes As to the worst attributes- imo anyone tempted to persecute others in groups over anything- that's the worst thing I can imagine. If I really believed in evil- that would be evil.

The ancient Greeks would have said hubris.

Interesting notion coug. I think blend is correct or maybe they are shades of some over riding concept that defines human corruption. I have a hard time thinking kindness, charity, fidelity, compassion, etc could be blended in such a mixture. So maybe they are shades of a different idea. Then there is charm, loyalty, patriotism, joy etc. These are concepts that can ring good or bad and could go either way or be woven into either tapestry, either to deceive as in blend number 1, or to enrich as in blend number 2. I would be careful at trying to judge who or whom has which. That judging stuff is tricky business.
