Today's society is centered on the seven deadly sins. No this is not going to be some biblical talk. We are centered on money (greed), Sex (lust), Physical appearance (pride), Food and weight (gluttony), The easier route (sloth), What other people have that we don't (envy), and Our hatred towards others for whatever reason (wrath). I see on tv every day ads to lose weight fast to be more attractive to the opposite or same sex whichever you prefer. I see ads and hear about ads regarding get rich quick slogans that will help you make Millions over a short period of time with little to no effort. You see wrath on the news all the time, people killing others, hating others for what seems like trivial reasons. Lust is everywhere we look. We cannot deny the fact that pride, greed and lust seem to rule the majority of our live and make a gate way for the other "sins" to play a part.

I saw this awesome shirt on www.pyramidcollection.com It said "I feel a Sin coming on" I thought it was very cute but it made me think. When do we not feel one of these happy little traits enter out lives. There is no such person in this world who can say they are not guilty to having indulged in one or all of those "sins" and I say "sins" in quotations because Sin is a Christian terminology and I'm not Christian by any sense of the word.

That’s beside the point. There's nothing wrong with lust. There is nothing wrong with Pride. Envy is perfectly normal. So is wrath, sloth, greed, and gluttony. As I was thinking about that I realized that even though the three "sins" I mentioned above seem to dominate every aspect of our lives, the one that is the most dangerous is gluttony. The reason I say this is because the meaning of gluttony has little to do with food, but rather the over indulgence of something. If we sit and think about it, all of the chaos and all of the problems with the other "sins" is the fact that we over indulge in them.

Now I’m not saying that I am not guilty, hell, I’m a fan of all seven deadly sins. I realize however that if we could just pull back on the reins a little. Keep ourselves from over indulging in our greed, pride, lust, wrath, sloth, envy or gluttony towards something we feel we need, we’d see a major difference in how we act and treat one another. People wouldn’t be so concerned with how they look. The would be more grateful for what they have rather then be upset over what they don’t.

I’m sure that who ever is reading this agrees at least with the last part, but unfortunately it’s human and what are we if not human?
