Turning Bad into Good

People have always been immoral, self-seeking, and spiritually not much better than garbage. But since the beginning of time leaders have struggled to find labels for all their followers spiritual shortcomings in order to control and punish them. It was a great task. The labels had to be inclusive enough to cover all sorts of disgusting behavior. It also had to be easy enough to remember so it could inspire guilt in the ignorant. That was the birth of the seven deadly sins. But now that people have become enlightened those seven sins have been turned into virtues.

The Seven Virtues

1:Pride There is nothing wrong with being proud and often giving yourself a pat on the back. If you are not a proud person who is going to be proud of you?? It is often called:Vanity and is best explained by the joy you experience when you see yourself in the mirror.
2:Envy is the desire to be in the situation of others who are more fortunate. The lives of the rich and famous stimulate Envy in all of us. We constantly dream of changing places. The reason is that other people are luckier,smarter and more attractive.
3:Gluttony is an insatiable desire to fill the stomach until it is ready to burst. It is often experienced when the food is really good.
4:Lust is a pleasurable gift from Mother Nature, It is the foundation of love and childbirth.
5:Anger comes as a feeling when hot love is denied in the height of our passion. It is felt when the things we want most cannot be had. It is also called Wrath.
6:Greed is the obsessive craving for material wealth. It creates millionaires and makes the world go around. Another name is Avarice
7:Sloth is the avoidance of physical or mental work. It can be a delight for wealthy people with lots of time for pure pleasure.

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
