Name Your Sin

[threadwalker]

The list of the 7 deadly sins or 7 sinful thoughts changed over time. I pulled the one I'm most familiar with, which is a modern Catholic list, and inserted a few alternates from other lists in parenthesis.

gluttony
lust (extravagence/unrestrained excess)
greed
wrath
sloth (despair)
envy
pride

Most of us will admit that we have 'weaknesses' or 'areas of improvement'. I'll call a spade a spade and admit that one of the items on this list has been something I've struggled with all my life. I've certainly allowed myself to fall victim to all of them at one point or another, but one has been an overall theme.

So I'm curious if anyone else has put thought into this. I'll share mine if you'll share yours.... (mine is going to be enbedded in a comment as soon as I have a lunch break and the time to write something)

all of them at one time or another, of course. But, the one I struggle with the *least* is envy. I don't want what someone else has bad enough to be jealous about it or try to take it away or even be angry at them or whatever. It just takes too much energy, much like hate.

My worst one? lately its sloth (laziness) I just want to sleep!
