Religion is not really my cup of tea. Telling masses of people what to believe, instead of furthering individuality may have served a purpose before facebook, not so much now. However, it’s been around for so long that its staying power can’t be questioned. And some things just haven’t changed. What I suffer from is a combination of some of humanity’s worst and best traits, so thought it might be interesting to hold up this to the 7 deadly sins and virtues. Interestingly, this ancient scripture is significantly more relevant than the “New 7 Sins”, which include genetic manipulation and selling drugs. Not guilty!!!

7 Deadly Sins:

Envy: My jealousy is huge. I will put that here, in the way that I’m envious that some else is having the attention I want

Gluttony: I suppose the occasional binge-drinking session

Greed: No. Just the desire to be happy. Suppose to an extent by seeking acceptance (status, po...wer), because I’m so insecure

Lust: No. Unless you describe my tendency to focus on the outside rather than the inside initially is lustful?

Pride: Certainly not, on the contrary.

Sloth: Failure to utilise one's talents and gifts? Describes me very well

Wrath: Got a burning fire inside me which I can’t control

7 Virtues:

Kindness: Can be very kind, and go out of my way to help people. Especially friends.

Temperance: No. I’m either on full blaze or nearly extinguished. Moderation doesn’t apply to me.

Charity: In its original meaning, no: “unlimited loving-kindness toward all others.” I deliberately avoid certain people.

Chasti...ty: Not so much, but improved significantly since split with ex-fiancé 6 years ago

Humility: I think so

Diligence: Not at all. Unfortunately.

Patience: Certainly not, nearly non-existent
