VII Deadly Sins

Lust ( fornication,
perversion )

LUST is usually thought of as involving obsessive
thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Lust can be
described as the desire for sexual release. Unfulfilled
lusts sometimes leads to sexual or sociological
compulsions and/or transgressions including (but
obviously not limited to) sexual addiction, adultery,
bestiality, and rape.

Gluttony ( waste,
overindulgence )

GLUTTONY is often viewed as overindulgence of food and
drink, though in the past any form of thoughtless excess
could fall within the definition of this sin. Marked by
unreasonable or unnecessary excess of consumption,
Gluttony could also include certain forms of destructive
behavior, especially for sport, or for its own sake.

Greed ( treachery,
covetousness )

GREED (as seen by the Church) applied to the acquisition
of wealth in particular. Also describe as disloyalty,
deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal
gain. Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects,
theft and robbery, especially by means of violence,
trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that
may be inspired by greed.

Sloth ( laziness, sadness,
apathy )

SLOTH in fact was first called the sin of sadness.
Described as apathy, depression, unwilling to care,
unwilling to act and joylessness. Sadness (tristitia in
Latin) described a feeling of dissatisfaction or
discontent, which causes unhappiness with one's
current situation. The modern view of the vice is that it
represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts.
Failing to achieve his or her full potential could be
labelled 'slothful'.

Wrath ( anger, hatred,
rage, assault, violence,
discrimination )

WRATH may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled
feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can
manifest into denial, impatience and the desire to seek
revenge. Wishing to do evil or harm to others or engage
in violent acts. Acts of vengeance may include murder,
assault, and in extreme cases, genocide ( Crimes against
humanity )

Envy ( jealousy, malice )

GREED is largely associated with material good.
Commiting the sin of Envy would be to be jealious of
something that someone else has which they perceive
themselves as lacking. To obsess over ones absence
wanting someone elses attributes.

Pride ( vanity,
arrogance, narcissism,)

PRIDE is often identified as a desire to be more important
or attractive than others, excessive love of self. Vanity
and Narcissism are prime examples of this Sin.
