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)

Hmm...the one I have the most trouble with has changed throughout the phases of my life. Certainly sloth/despair in my early 20s, along with gluttony.
I've worked hard to curb wrath and pride at other times more recent, but I've never had any trouble with greed, lust or envy.
What? I said that lust was no trouble, not that it wasn't present... ;-)
