The Seven Deadly Sins(plus definitions for clarification):
Lust: very strong sexual desire.
Gluttony: habitual greed or excess in eating.
Greed: intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
Sloth: reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness.
Wrath: extreme anger.
Envy: a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck.
Pride: a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
The one that affects me the most is wrath. The counter to wrath is patience which I severely lack in some cases.
The one that affects me the least is pride. The funny thing is, is that I haven’t achieved such a “great achievement.” Which is why I feel it sometimes nonexistent in my life, but it’s probably there and I just don’t notice it.
I was always interested in these sins, just the concept of them. After a lot of thought I realized that you cannot exterminate a sin from your life. You can only reduce or increase the influence of them. However, they will always be there, because we’re human beings.
