Today we are going to have an insight into the deadly sins and how they destroy an entities soul and corrupt others morality. Firstly, before we Commence, we must identify this deadly vices. Luckily today I will also be using animals as a good representation of these sins. The sins includes:
1. Avarice- Toad
2. Lust - goat
3. Sloth - snail
4. Hubris - peacock
5. Malicious envy - snake
6. Wrath - lion
7. Gluttony - pig
All the above mentioned characteristics directly or indirectly engender the moralities of others. Let's now probe into each and everyone of them.
Avarice - also known as greed or covetousness is a sin of desire. However, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth. Hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery , violence or trickery manipulation of authority and it's funds are all actions that may be inspired by Greed.
Lust - It is usually thought of as intense or unbridled sexual desire, which leads to fornication , adultery , rape , bestiality , and other immoral sexual acts. Lust could also be used in general terms e.g lust for power, lust for money, lust for blood etc
Sloth - also known as laziness may be defined as absence of interest or habitual disinclination to exertion. Sloth is also the indifference to work. Sloth is a sin of omitting responsibility. Sloth can lead to crimes and violence in our society through frauds and all other quick money seeking ways.
Hubris - is the negative part of version of pride. Hubris Is without humility and with corrupt selfishness. Hubris is the irrational believe that one is better or more important and failing to acknowledge the accomplishment of others. Excessive feelings of hubris have a tendency to create conflict and sometimes terminating close relationships.
Malicious envy - can be described as a sad or resentful covetousness towards the traits or possessions of someone else. Malicious envy is similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someone's traits, status, abilities, or rewards. A difference is that the envious also desire the entity and covet it. Bertrand Russell said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness.
Wrath - can be defined as uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage , and even hatred , often revealing itself in the wish to seek vengeance. [28] Wrath, in its purest form,
presents with injury, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead.
Gluttony - is the overindulgence and
overconsumption of anything to the point of waste. It is also the sin of excessive desire for food. Gluttony can make a person lose attachment to health-related,
social, intellectual, and spiritual pleasures; and lose proper judgement.
Now we have known more about the deadly foibles, we should try and desist from the so as to better a society and our own personal mind and body.
