7 Deadly Sins

All of the 7 sins are inordinate and insatiable. When one partakes in the act of them it can be excessive and obsessive behavior. The yearning of each sin can not be satisfied and one always has to have more and the acts are very selfish.
To overcome these things one must learn to be content, satisfied and be unselfish.
One must be reasonable and know one’s limits. One must strive to be better.

Lust
Meaning: The desire for the pleasures of the body. It is obsessive and excessive thoughts or cravings that are compulsions or transgressions of the sexual nature. Usually one who falls under the “love at first sight” mistakes lust as love.

Hell’s Punishment: For those that die by this sin will go to hell to be smothered in fire and brimstone.
Lesson: One who does not learn other satisfying things outside of the bedroom will never find true satisfaction. One who mistakes lust as love needs to learn what love truly is or one will be alone, because lust does fade and love is forever.

Gluttony
