7 DEADLY SINS
These "deadly Sins" reminds me that it is deadly to relationships. all these feelings put together or either one can be hurtful towards some people.
1st: Pride
Excessive belief in one's own abilities. Pride is also known as Vanity. When one person thinks highly of themselves, it can be a bitchy move towards others... Don't mix confidence with pride.. Confidence is totally something else but some uses the confidence they have and manage to turn it into one of this sins.. Sometimes, to others who share the same burden of completing the same workload, but yet can calm themselves, and the other person just say that I'm important, I make it work, the other person can commit another crime by actually taking a knife and cutting the other person's VOCAL chord(the area)... Like get real, everyone else does the work but can shut up about it.. don't think highly of yourself as your victory is because of others...
2nd: Greed
The desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. The sin itself manage to some up a lot. Some people have to much pride has they a greedy.. as I went back to my hometown in Kelantan, I'm still in shock... from KL to Kelantan we use the route they bypass Raub & Kuala Krai.. From KB to got to Tumpat(Dad's hometown), I felt that i went into a different universe, there in KB, how we all can see that it is building up, following the era we are in, but just as i cross that small one lane bridge, I see that we aren't really ready to step forward, the poverty that we still have, i can see it spread right in front of me, for almost a 30 mins ride.. even when i see my relatives i feel sadden.. Living in a cushy life.. my family helps the best they can. Hence they pay their ZAKAT in Kelantan rather than in KL or Selangor... That is why we usually go back during Fasting month.. also for the delicacies there..:p
I do hope than in 10 years, that state will be well out of poverty... if not for the parents, do it for the future generation..
P/S I'm quite proud that my cousin is doing well in school and getting funds from the government.. and the fact that Mum puts in more funds every month makes me feel proud to be brought up by them no matter how advance or modern this world is..
3rd: Gluttony
An inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. This refers more to someone who eats their feelings.. Hence the rate of obesity... Me included.. Gotta lose some weight people.. but HOW!! i love my food!!! Went to london for a month, and was not eating meat for a week and i was like.. 'I WANT MY RED MEATS PEOPLE!!'.. Not so much of a fish person..
4th: Anger
Manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.. Anger is deadly.. sometimes when u are overcome with fury, wrath, anger, you do things you sometimes dont mean to... Hence the news we see, Acid throwing, killing family members, raping daughters... As Ross(FRIENDS) would say UNAGI... calming one self before doing harm to self or others.. Using different types of methods.. For example, Shouting at the top of your lungs or the best method is soothing one self with a breathing method... Taking deep deep breath.. and exhaling slowly...
5th: Envy
The desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. The green eyed Monster as we all know.. Why should there by Envy in this world.. Envy can be a good thing, a drive for u to be better, a healthy competition.. however some just follows that little voices in the head saying that envy=fighting=jealousy, which sometimes leads to violence... Murdering, beating up, acid throwing.. Use the jealousy to strive for a better you... to make you a better person in work, and in personal life.. Ladies, if a guy finds another woman just to because he can. Dump he as he is not the gentleman he is suppose to be.. No point confronting the other woman for stealing your man as we all know that the man himself is a horny sucker.. You are way better than him to throw yourself away.. Walk away with head held high as there is someone better waiting for you with arms wide open...:D
6th: Lust
An inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. As some say your body is a temple.. A thing you must care for and love it.. but as we can see, with all the adult shops everywhere..(literally everywhere in S'pore, even at the market of Bugis street) it shows that no one really treasures themselves anymore... Once, it was a trending topic.. a girl of maybe 14 or 15.. not quite sure, telling to the whole world that she is not a virgin.. how young are these kids.. Is there not an age limit to when sex can be perform... All religion states that lets save ourselves till marriage.. this is not just a belief but of dignity and health.. having multiple sex partners leads to STD's.. and the fact that the rate of AIDS has gone up says that we are practicing unsafe sex... No matter how religion tells you that u are not allowed to practice sex before marriage, we know that half of the population does not follow that belief.. but for us Muslims, this is nothing to be proud of. a girl barely out of her teens proclaiming to the whole world that her cherry has been popped puts shame not just to her, but her family and society... if there are who practices sex before marriage the least u can do is appreciate yourself... Safety is always a must.. we can see that condoms are sold practically everywhere in gas station, 7-e, even some mini markets as well as big ones... use it.. keep yourself safe... Do not be too proud of having done it as it is not something proud to do... think of the family as well...
7th: Sloth
The avoidance of physical or spiritual work. In other terms a couch potato.. in the real world, modern world, we do hope that there is not anybody like this anymore... But hope is just hope as we do see some who still live like this.. feeding off loved ones who strive for themselves.. who works constantly to make sure there is always food on the table.. How can somebody just lay there, not doing anything... not even willing himself to at least pray for his soul and the soul of others... surviving in the world like a parasite.. not knowing how they will end up like once they go to the after life..
As we read of all these deadly sins, we can see that these are not just some tales told to make sure that we will avoid it.. It is also and eye opener for the fact that these are in fact deadly sins towards others involved... taking life.. unappreciative, boosting...
a reminder to all that everything we see and feel is just for this world.. Build yourself for a better future where harmony and peace is always there...
