We hear a lot about our fat sin, but what about haters?
Lust-for glory you haven't earned.
Gluttony-for the pain of others.
Greed-stealing other people's stories, their lives.
Sloth-not bothering with repairing your own self esteem issues, within.
Wrath-anger released from deep inside from those you couldn't get at, emptied on people you can.
Envy-wanting to disturb the peace of someone else.
Pride-Slim's better than fat.
Those are the seven deadly sins. It tells you something that we rarely hear of their antidotes; the seven heavenly virtues.
Chastity-abstaining from trying to mess people up because their body doesn't look like you want.
Temperance- the ability to soberly reflect on all the facts, without fear or favour.
Charity-extending the belief that others know themselves as much as you know your own self.
Diligence- continuing to resist being wound up with authorities cynical falsehoods.
Patience-with the depth of your own ignorance.
Kindness-don't pretend that's meanness and abuse.
Humility-don't presume others haven't tried harder than you could ever imagine.
