<p style="text-align: justify;">Seven deadly sins, as listed in the Holy Bible; how many among us can say that we have not at some time committed all of them to some degree? During a recent conversation a participant brought up the subject of “Envy.” His point was to recognize the apparent rampant demonstration of envy in the current political and social climate. I feel, as did he, that it is very evident in the practices and positions taken by the Democrat Party. It seems to motivate their hate for everything President Donald Trump says or tries to do, or even for the man himself. I feel that envy is highly emotion driven and is not always destructive as it is in the current political and social climates. I feel that those emotions were given to us by God to serve beneficial purposes. I pointed out my feeling with an illustration of envy as a motivating force to improve oneself or the direction of one’s life. If one feels envy toward someone for having a certain enhancement or possession, the emotion may and should motivate one toward self-development or improved financial capabilities sufficient to satisfy that need or want-driven envy. Many of these emotions can be beneficial if properly “channeled” to do “good” or improve the direction of one’s life or the life of someone else.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Seven Deadly Sins listed in the Bible are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. The Bible covers topics relating to sin, repentance, forgiveness, and salvation, among many others, which help provide biblical guidance for Christians to follow to resist the temptations of sin. I believe it is safe to say that each of the Seven Deadly Sins are emotion driven, although each emotion may have a different origin – pride in one’s capabilities or possessions, envy of the capabilities or possessions of others, gluttony at a sumptuous meal or festival, sexual lust, anger at treatment of oneself or the treatment of others, greed when selecting the amount of Halloween candy to take or overfilling of one’s plate, sloth over the weekend idleness or in the manner of dress or speech. Guilty or not? Your decision!</p>
