Seven Deadly Sins

There's pride, lust, gluttony, greed, envy, wrath/anger, and sloth. Which one are you most guilty of?

Mine would probably fall into the pride and anger category, althought lately it's been gluttony and spending money.

I am guilty of gluttony and spending money also...

I have decided to really take my dieting more seriously! I mean, I usually work out, but, I always let myself eat what I want...I finally decided it is time to cut out the fat and get off this crazy "pizza diet"!! LOL!

Unfortunately for me, my income is adequate to the point that I rarely have to tell myself 'no'...but, this is not good...

I have also decided that being a 'spoiled brat' as I am in unattractive and I must work harder to 'give back to the universe'!! This is my current quest! I think I am better for it!!!

P.S. I have also lost 7 pounds since I ended my former joke of a 'pizza diet'!

Very cool Ms. Star. You go girl! Keep it up!

oh my god none!!! I am perfect!!!

ROFL!!

LOL cortica

I would def say pride and lust stand out to me. I have contributed to the demise of relationships b/c of my pride, and I think lust speaks for itself. Otherwise, I am PURRFECT as well 😉

pride and lust

Probably wrath /anger and not necessarily in that order. I have a better control of it now than in my teenage years, but god help anyone if they piss me off! Mind you, it takes ALOT to piss me off and usually only involves issues of betrayel of loyalty.

Diddo for me to what Lawgoddess said.

I'd also go with envy, I'm a perfectionist, and, oh wait, pride goes for me too... hmm... Oh well, I just like things the way I like them, which is when I'm getting what I want, what's wrong with that?

If there are seven deadly sins does this mean that there are only seven commandments and five suggestions. Could change things.

Being a Libra, it has to be gluttony. Nothing stops me from a chewy, rich brownie and the convenience of Direct TV!

um... Wouldn't it be seven commandments and three suggestions? Or are there more than ten commandments? There probably are more, but know one thinks about them.

lol sloane, Direct TV and brownies are a sinful couple...

Good point Morgan math is not my strong point.

How about we look at the Seven Wonders of The World—?

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were
so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
She hesitated a little, and then added
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder that the
most precious things in life cannot be bought.

This is very true, thank you Freebird...

You know, I'm afraid I'm caught up on details... Out of the first list, the Grand Canyon doesn't fit, since all the rest are man made wonders, and that is a natural wonder of the world...

Good point, Morganof "mind" 🙂 I agree with what you noticed. However, man in him/her self is a "wonder" so, if those wonders were created by a wonder then it appears that it is all WONDERful 🙂

It's ALL good....🙂

Freebird

Man is some wonder... For all that he creates, he destroys just as much. LOL... I think I'd put man under the "freak wonders of the world" list, because I'm pretty sure that we're the only species on the face of the earth that goes to war with one another. Hhhmmm... It's probably because only humans have the minds to come up with the coolest way to kill masses of people and destroy cities. Although, I guess it helps that only humans really build cities. I guess maybe it's because humans actually have something worth keeping that they figure out ways to destroy it.

Yep, we sure are quite a species aren't we? I must say that we make life a very interesting process. As I was out today I saw the headlines of a newspaper that read, "Understanding War" Hmmmmm....I thought...understanding war? how does one understand the reason behind killing? I came to the conclusion that (for me) understanding war is the Absence of Love. That's it, plain and simple. I am only hoping that good will come out of this experience.

I think it's not necessarly an absence of love but a love in maybe the wrong thing, or at least put to the wrong means. For example, a person's love for their country can be twisted into a need for war. Love in and of itself is a wonderful thing, but when you but theories and priciples behind it, it ceases to be that pure feeling of good will towards all, and becomes selective, even perhaps turning to hate, as those two emotions are not so far off as they might seem.

sorry freebird but only the pyramids and the wall of china on your list are actually two of the "wonders of the world" I know-I know-I'm out of context-don't be so critical-no one cares, etc. etc....but I know too much about it not to let it bug me. The Collasus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria were my favorite.

As for the seven sins, currently it is gluttony because boy-oh-boy do I love the taste of food. Give me a few years and it will be lust i'll need forgiveness for.

She said "present Seven Wonders of the World", and the Collasus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria do not exist any more, my dearie.

impossible. I am never wrong!

one must read Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince his letters to Lorenzo de Medici to understand why war is needed.

Back to the sins, for me it's lust mainly.

And a thought on the theory that war is the absence of love...let's say you're with your lover and someone grabs them and puts a knife to their throat and threatens to kill or harm them. You've got a gun. Do you use it? I know I would. And I would expect anyone who claims to love me to do the same thing.

I would shoot the bastard even if I did not love you. Gratitude sex is always grandiose.

lol... The Prince is a master peice!!! I took this quiz once and I came out 85% Machiavellian... Which is I think the highest score out of the people who took it, and enough to rank me as an extremely sadistic opertunist... But hey, I think I'd make a very good evil world dictator, although personally I'd have much more fun being the rebel leader who over throughs the world dictator (my need for drama would be far more satisfied)...

mORGAN IN BLACK LEATHER A WHIP slave boys whOOOOOO

LOL james, although that wasn't my first thought, there's always room for that...
