At this point, for the “sins of envy, greed and avarice”, we have encountered nested forms along two intersecting axes in Menninger’s apparently Christian frame.

The horizontal axis follows:

Law^essential(sins of envy, greed and avarice(psychology of covetousness))

The think^group vertical axis is:

“The ungodly consolations of a complex life or idolatry of money(sins of envy, greed and avarice(the conscience^lacking of self-aggrandizement))

The alternate think^divine vertical axis – we can only guess – might be:

Think^divine of the simple life (the virtue of fairness(the conscience^free of self-reliance)

And this think^divine would change the horizontal axis – we can only guess –to:

Law^essential(the virtue of fairness(the psychology of personal ownership and open opportunity)

Is that not odd?

The “psychology” of the disposition sounds like “natural rights”.
