I feel&comma; as did he&comma; that it is very evident in the practices and positions taken by the Democrat Party&period; It seems to motivate their hate for everything President Donald Trump says or tries to do&comma; or even for the man himself&period; I feel that envy is highly emotion driven and is not always destructive as it is in the current political and social climates&period; I feel that those emotions were given to us by God to serve beneficial purposes&period; I pointed out my feeling with an illustration of envy as a motivating force to improve oneself or the direction of one’s life&period; If one feels envy toward someone for having a certain enhancement or possession&comma; the emotion may and should motivate one toward self-development or improved financial capabilities sufficient to satisfy that need or want-driven envy&period; Many of these emotions can be beneficial if properly &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;channeled” to do &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;good” or improve the direction of one’s life or the life of someone else&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;

repentance&comma; forgiveness&comma; and salvation&comma; among many others&comma; which help provide biblical guidance for Christians to follow to resist the temptations of sin&period; I believe it is safe to say that each of the Seven Deadly Sins are emotion driven&comma; although each emotion may have a different origin – pride in one’s capabilities or possessions&comma; envy of the capabilities or possessions of others&comma; gluttony at a sumptuous meal or festival&comma; sexual lust&comma; anger at treatment of oneself or the treatment of others&comma; greed when selecting the amount of Halloween candy to take or overfilling of one’s plate&comma; sloth over the weekend idleness or in the manner of dress or speech&period;
