  1. VICES The Seven Deadly Sins

  2. PRIDE • An overly high opinion of oneself; exaggerated self-esteem; conceit, arrogance, vanity, self-satisfaction. • Pride and vanity are competitive. If someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride.

  3. ENVY • Excessive desire for acquiring or having; desire for more than one needs or deserves. • Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. • Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times

  4. GLUTTONY • One who eats too much. One with a great capacity for something. • This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.

  5. LUST • To feel an intense desire, especially sexual desire; to long: after or for. • Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control.

  6. ANGER • A strong feeling excited by a real or supposed injury; often accompanied by a desire to take vengeance, or to obtain satisfaction from the offending party; resentment; wrath. • Anger is often our first reaction to problems with others. • Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.

  7. GREED • Excessive desire for acquiring or having; desire for more than one needs or deserves. • Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more.

  8. SLOTH • Disinclination to action or labor; sluggishness; habitual indolence; laziness, idleness; slowness; delay. • The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
