Those 7 Deadly Sins

Michelle brought up the topic of sins which got me thinking. Yes, I know that thinking-- for me, anyway-- is usually a bad thing, but I had to seriously consider which sins I'm really guilty of. And it's a convenient blog topic for when you've got nothing else on the burner.

So we have the sins (in alphabetical order since I can't help myself): Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath. Let's consider each one, shall we? (All definitions from m-w.com.)

1. Envy- painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage. (I'm probably least guilty of this sin. I don't tend to resent people for having something I want. I also don't get jealous easily. This has been a big problem in most of my relationships, oddly enough. I have been known to say "I wish I could ______ as well as ______", so I guess that would count as envy minus the painful or resentful awareness.)
2. Gluttony- excess in eating or drinking. (Oh, boy. I'm in trouble here. Not so much anymore, but very guilty of it in my younger years. I was very fond of excessive behavior back then. Something I've said: "Better buy two pints of the Godiva ice cream, I'm so inhaling that one tonight.")
3. Greed- excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness. (I've been known to be greedy. I like stuff. I like having stuff. I like buying stuff. I want more stuff. I'm always saying "Isn't this cute?! I have to have it!")
4. Lust- usually intense or unbridled sexual desire. (Yikes. Seriously guilty of this one. Not only is my crush list at least a mile long, it's growing daily. Something I've said: "Grrowr! _______ is nummy!" And I have gotten very graphic, but won't do so here.)
5. Pride- proud or disdainful behavior or treatment. (I'm extraordinarily arrogant. I know it. I try to temper it. I've said: "I am a goddess! Bow before me and worship at my feet.")
6. Sloth- disinclination to action or labor. (Oh, hell, yeah. I'm lazy. I'm very lazy. This doesn't mean I'm not active. I've been known to buzz about in a flurry of activity, but then come the very long periods of rest. I'm ashamed to admit that I've said "I can find the remote and don't feel like getting up to change the channel." when asked why I was watching crap on tv.)
7. Wrath- strong vengeful anger or indignation. (Very guilty of this. Again, mostly in my younger years. I have said: "I will hurt you. A lot. And then? I will kill you. And then I will laugh. I will laugh and I will point and point and laugh. Because I hate you so very much. And also? You suck.")

I'm so going to hell, but I already knew that.
