Whether the daughters of lust are fittingly described?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the daughters of lust are unfittingly reckoned to be "blindness of mind, thoughtlessness, inconstancy, rashness, self-love, hatred of God, love of this world and abhorrence or despair of a future world." For mental blindness, thoughtlessness and rashness pertain to imprudence, which is to be found in every sin, even as prudence is in every virtue. Therefore they should not be reckoned especially as daughters of lust.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, constancy is reckoned a part of fortitude, as stated above (Question [128], ad 6; Question [137], Article [3]). But lust is contrary, not to fortitude but to temperance. Therefore inconstancy is not a daughter of lust.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, "Self-love extending to the contempt of God" is the origin of every sin, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xiv, 28). Therefore it should not be accounted a daughter of lust.

❌ Objection 4 : Further, Isidore [*Questions. in Deut., qu. xvi] mentions four, namely, "obscene," "scurrilous," "wanton" and "foolish talking." There the aforesaid enumeration would seem to be superfluous.
