Who Is This Person?

I was reading about the Seven Deadly Sins the other day, and what a revelation it was to see
the words I was reading crystallizing for me how this reminds me of a certain person

The Seven Deadly Sins
Seven things that are considered the worst things to do.

1. Greed - Wanting too much of something.
2. Gluttony - Similar to greed, but gluttony is the action of taking too much of something in.
3. Lust - The need to fulfill unspiritual desires (not just sexual desires, but this is usually what lust is associated with.)
4. Envy - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has.
5. Sloth - Being too slow or lazy at doing something.
6. Wrath - Vindictive anger; angry revenge.
7. Pride - Being too self-satisfied

some other people may say that the seventh deadly sin is anger but this is not true; its pride.

As to the Seven Deadly Sins, I deplore Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy, & Greed. Gluttony & Sloth I pretty much plan my day around.


Oh.... and welcome to DU.

used to tout a (fake) booklet:

"The Seven Deadly Sins, and How to Get the Most Out of Them"

I always sort of wished that someone would actually sit down and write it!
