The Seven Deadly Sins Manifested in Me

These are all the Seven Deadly Sins I think I would be.

1) Gluttony

I am an absolute pig when I eat at the cafeteria in BIOLA. There are many times when I just noticed people gazing at me in awe at the amount of food that I consumed. I would get a full plate and when everybody else was done, I went and got another full plate and I made everybody stay longer and wait for me to finish. I would eat until I hurt. Disgusting.

2) Vanity

I have two mirrors in my room. One is situated so that I can see myself constantly at my desk. I caught myself, staring at this mirror an unhealthy amount of times. I also take a lot of pictures of myself on my webcam and even my new camera. I'm not sure if I can go through a day without a mirror.

3) Greed

I want everything. I crave attention. I crave laughter and friends and love and money and success and piety and God and girls and charisma and lower percentage of fat on my body. I just don't feel cool sometimes.

4) Lust

hohoho.

5) Pride

I don't think I'm wrong much. I don't spread my knowledge of things I learn in bible classes out of love for my brother. I don't share it thinking that I want them to grow spiritually. I share it thinking that I would definitely seem much more knowledgeable to the others. I just want to seem smart and be respected.

6) Sloth

I'm one lazy bum. I say I need a job but I don't remember spending time looking for one.

7) Envy

I yearn for the friendships that others have. I yearn for the relationships of others. I yearn for charisma, intelligence, and wisdom that my heroes had. I'm not really sure of what I have in the end.


So these are the sins that I think I would be. I hope that I can look at this list and act to change myself in every one of these areas. I hope that I can become a better human and just be more happy. :) But God loves me despite all this disgustingness so I'm happy.
