The Elements of Harmony & the Pillars · 8:19pm Aug 15th, 2021
After watching the Season 7 finale of MLP: FiM, here are my thoughts on how the Elements of Harmony and the Pillars’ Virtues have similar traits to each other:
1. Honesty & Strength:
It takes a strong heart and will to keep choosing to tell the hard truth instead of an easy lie.
2. Kindness & Healing:
A wounded heart needs kindness to heal.
3. Laughter & Hope:
To give a genuine laugh and smile is a way to show hope.
4. Generosity & Beauty:
A generous heart is a beautiful heart.
5. Loyalty & Bravery:
Only an individual who refuses to leave behind a friend (or rival) would be considered as courageous and brave.
6. Magic & Sorcery:
Sorcery turning into magic is simply it taking on a purer and more idealistic form, whereas the former is more straightforward and practical.
7. Empathy & Wisdom (Theoretical):
Possessing knowledge and understanding is having wisdom. Since empathy is understanding the feeling of others, this already shows that you are gaining some wisdom.
Empathy can also be considered as a tool for acquiring wisdom. Without empathy, understanding of a given situation may be incomplete and suboptimal. Thus, wisdom can benefit from the use of empathy.
Kal8400,
That pretty much sums it up.
I agree with you.

Thanks 😊
I like this, though I have the headcanon of Stygian being the Pillar of Vision rather than Wisdom. He saw the Sirens and recognized them as a threat, and in the comics, he was the one coming up with plans and taking in as much as possible to achieve a goal.
