LUST.
Not be confused with good OL love. Which could be 1. Intense sexual desire. (Not that the mainstream is highly sexualizing us so we become slaves to this sin) insatiable need for the act or reaching that 'feeling'

Porn is pushed on us as a healthy act. It is Not. Sexual energy is very powerful and we've been taught to be ignorant to that. It corrupts the mind heavily, and distorts our perception to what sex is. And it also drives the intense desire to want it more and more.
I'd argue this is why 'Men are Trash' our subconscious minds are under attack and we don't see this alot. The Bible says in Timothy "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
Also... We know about 'No fap' and we know that professional athletes don't do any sexual acts before a big game or fight. Mike Tyson said he never indulged in sex or mastubation atleast 3 months before a fight. To preserve and redirect his sexual energy.
GREED!
We all know about this one. It has put us in this prison we call life today. EVERYONE HAS TO EAT! And we want more! And more for us because it 'capitalism' and 'I worked hard' since the beginning of time mankind has found ways to justify this Sin.

Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Again. The Kingdom of God is within. And around us. And every single living organism on this planet is in the Kingdom of God.
WRATH/ANGER
A very powerful Sin. Just like all the others it has the ability to destroy you and others. It's counterpart is Peace, and Kindness. not all anger we experience is rooted in the prideful, selfish soil of our sin nature.

GLUTTONY
Modern views identify Gluttony as being associated with an over indulgence of food and drink... (you know where I'm going with this on right?) lol though in the past any form of thoughtless excess fell under this Sin. Also marked by a refusal to share recources.

... Or unreasonable and unnecessary consumption. "We are a Gluttonous people" this leads to so many addictions. Food... Leading to obesity and all sorts of food related diseases, and well... Our favorite past time, DRINKING. God did say sip a lil but don't get drunk.
Some bibles verses on Gluttony.
Prov 25:16 "If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it."
Prov 23:20-21"Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat..

Or with gluttonous eaters of meat..
For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe one with rags. Alot of us know from experience what alcoholism does to our bodies and minds. We all know what excessive meat consumption does to our bodies.

ENVY
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others He who envies others does not achieve peace. - Buddha
This is straight forward. We have alot of that on this here platform. When you start feeling a pain in your heart when someone you know prospers. CHECK YOURSELF

SLOTH
Proverbs 10:4 “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”
An African proverb says "It is in the eyes of a lazy man that maize will ripen"
Basically stop day dreaming and WORK!

VANITY!
"excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements." most 'Celebrities' promote this Sin. Bare in mind that there's a huge difference between confidence and vanity. An African proverb says "An ounce of vanity can ruin a ton of merit."

I used these illustrations of women on purpose. The female being is known to many as a portal between the spiritual and physical realm. Female is the only force in the universe powerful enough to navigate and incarnate unborn spirits into our world. The Female being is God..
...'Boys' don't know this that's why they mistreat them. Because of their arrogant ignorance.
Women are where men get the strength from that's why mainstream hip hop from the 80s had boys disrespecting women, and their bodies.

It's ok if you're not religious or if you don't agree with this. But those are the Principles (Sins) that we should be aware of, and conscious of.
Peace Love and Happiness to you all.
Peace Love and Happiness to you all.
... And it's easy to succumb to this when that self love is missing. We seek it all these coz it 'feels good' we are all seeking 1 thing. Either it be Buddhist following or Islam or Christianity. PEACE, LOVE & HAPPINESS.
