Inside the mind of a habitual sinner...

Sloth - It usually starts here. Sloth. We tend to ride on with life. Go with the flow, as many people would say. We simply don't go with effort. Convenience is our ultimate goal. The more comfortable and convenient we are... the better we think our lives are becoming. But is it really? Risk and pain creates the real "man". Temporary is our happiness we get through convenience. Then boredom kicks in.

Lust - With that boredom feeds all other things. We forget to think. We don't think at all. Rationalization becomes a mere tool to justify the consequences of our actions. The psychological jargon known as Id is dominating our psyche. Animal instincts... Lust.

Greed - Survival of the fittest. As animals, it is imprinted within us that in order to survive in the animal kingdom, we should do harsh things. But what drives us to do such? It is within us to be the best... to own everything... to rule the world. Nature dictates so, if our mind and conscience fails, to be greedy. We want it all.

Envy - We envy the success of others coz we want it all. We want ours to be ours... theirs should also be ours. Everything or none at all.

Anger - If we don't get it all, we seek refuge. Anger is one. Anger to all. Driven by the fact that if you can't have it, then no one can.

Gluttony - Because we don't want them to have it... then we should. But in inevitable situations, we tend to simply destroy it. We eat it up. We possess everything that we can. May it be uneeded or not... wanted or not. Just so that the other can't have it.

Pride - Then though all is lost... a man's pride is never lost. ***
