The Sins[/u]
-Envy~ Never satisfied no matter what she/he might have, always wanting what others have. Never secure or content and measuring themselves against their rivals.
-Gluttony~ Indulging appetites to the exclusion of everything else. Dedication to sensual pleasure or chasing the next high. This does not mean food, but anything such as drugs, booze, or even sex.
-Greed~ Never satisfied with what they have, but they want money, a bigger house, or more status/influence, no matter what they already have.
-Lust~ Uncontrolled desire. Driven by a passion for something (usually sex, but can be a craving for any experience/activity) that he/she acts upon without consideration.
-Pride~ Self-confidence. It's a belief that everything you do is right and everyone else is wrong unless they agree with you. Never admits defeat!
-Sloth~ Avoiding work until someone else does it, is the way to live for a slothful person.
-Wrath~ Uncontrolled anger, justly describes this sin. The slightest provocation can set him/her off to vent on a person or even object, it doesn't matter to them.
