Be Honest!

At one point or another in my life I have been guilty of all.

I call it suppertime.

ALL. Most of em all at the same time.
But Gd got me back... I made it past 30 and been paying for it ever since.

Only Lust for me and when that ends I hope the woman next to me calls the Funeral Home.

Be Honest!
'Fear' is the root of all seven.

1, I'm pleading the fifth.
2, if there is any deadly sin of which I am more guilty of than any, it's the eighth deadly sin of despair, or acedia as they used to call it.

That has never been my thing. I have been beat up all the way along, and been so low as to be living in the sticks under a 10x10 tarp for months. The trick is to find beauty in everything.
I will recommend something that will jack your mind over. The only book by a shrink that I put any store in:
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl (https://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/0807014273/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=man%27s+Search+for+meaning&link_code=qs&qid=1617932859&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-1)
Chew on that and see what happens. :beer:

Thank you for sharing

Probably all of them at one point or another in my life, but never pride. I can’t think of one time in my life I have been proud of anything I’ve accomplished.
As for despair, it’s despair that makes us appreciate the good. I know I’m going through a mega depressive state right now, where I’m almost. ahenodonic but I know it probably will get better. Past experiences say it usually does, even if it takes a year or two
It would also be interesting to see what of the 7 heavenly virtues we’ve done,

Good idea.

Good idea.
While I have practiced the 7 virtues at one time or another some are not easy....patience isn't my strong suit

Most if not all of them, I am able to beat back as only thoughts, but our mind goes everywhere and we are to master them the best we can, unlike animals.
So yes, basically everyday I sin with thinking (and often doing, I am 250lbs for a reason) some/most if not all of these. Everyday I try to ask the Lord to forgive me and help me do better.
I do fairly well with greed, wraith, and envy. Not so good with the rest.
Now where is my hidden stash of M&Ms at ?
