What's your deadly sin?

Mostly Sloth. I have many an idea, that goes unfulfilled from lack of motivation.

Partly Lust. I desire and reflect upon it and want it, fulfill it, but ultimately content.

Now for the Seven Virtues...

 

...

 

Pride, probably.

 

Envy. I hate how great some people are and can't help but think I'd be more deserving of what they have. It's very annoying actually.

 

Lust. Not even a joke. I can't look at a human being without imagining how many different ways I'd like to bone them.

 

pride & Envy, i can't decide, i have way to much of them, i need to get em out of my life

BTW: whats interesting about pride is, you can never eliminate it completely you will always have a sense of superiority, always.

Ex: i am writing this in a keyboard, i have a brain and free will and thus i am superior to a keyboard, i think that this is why it's probably the most deadly, not mention all other sins come from pride, thus why it's known as the "Original Sin"

 

I don't believe this is true. I mean, this is approaching personal ideologies here so I'm not saying it's right or wrong to agree to disagree, but I don't think that any of these are impossible to return from, even in extreme cases. I suppose that defeats the purpose of a 'deadly' sin, but a prideful person can be humbled, a wrathful person calmed, and so on.

 

True, nice point, but that's not really what i'm saying, It's always possible to return from a sin. what im saying is, that pride (unlike other sins) is a sin that we can have in a form that it's not sin (If that makes sense), We will always know of superiority, and not necessarily always in a bad way, so if you think about it, it's "funny", pride can be considered one of the most dangerous sins, but we can also have it in a "clean" non sinic nature.

 

*bro fistbump*

 

Shut up and let's get down to business.

 

In other words you can actually be superior and deserve your pride, while all of the other sins are based in either desire or lack of desire, this one can be based in reality and that makes it different from the rest of them.

Basically: Is it wrong to have pride if you are genuinely better than others?

 

I'm gonig to go for pride, I fear taking pride in my achievements in case people think I'm vain (I despise vanity) but I still get very proud and showy offy about what I've done just to show my superiority which is what I dislike about myself- I can see myself doing it as well and can't stop it.

I'm not sloth... often, I'm too organised, I am quite envious at times but not often, I am content with my possessions so I'm not really greedy. I enjoy food but I don't overeat majorly (unless it's a bad day and I want cheering up) so I'm not very gluttanous.

I'm also quite lustful but only at certain points, some times I just completely switch off to that and sometimes it's all I can think of... and I don't care to admit it >.>

For wrath, I am slow to anger but I can be violent when something angers me but I'm more a sappy person who gets upset frist.

 

There's a difference between proud and prideful. There's nothing wrong with being proud when it's warranted, but being prideful is always bad

 

Semantics, but I concede. You would not say "he/she is proud" and mean it in a negative way.

 

Either Lust or Wrath.
Or both.

Yesh, both.

 

But hopefully not at the same time.

If this thread was posted two years ago, I would've said Sloth right off the bat but at the moment, I don't really know which I would say I express the most. There's a difference between simple jealousy and envy. Or anger and wrath. Or being proud and vain. I've expressed all of former various times but never enough for it to constitute the latter and be considered "deadly". I guess either Envy or Pride would be the best fit out of the 7.

 

Personally, I'm somewhere between Sloth and Envy~

 

Sloth or greed, one of the two. Mostly sloth though.

 

It's no fun if the two are not combined sweetie~

 

yes to all.
