Ur So Right And So Real For That - Tumblr Posts

There's something so funny to me about the fact that at least one of the sins is misinterpreted every single time that people write about them. Usually Lust or Gluttony.

Anyway, a short guide, for people who want to be more accurate. Or want to assign sins to themselves, I guess.

Pride isn't just confidence. It's putting yourself before others, believing you genuinely deserve more than them. Pride is Main Character Syndrome in its purest form.

Greed isn't just liking money - it's loving money, enough to hurt those around you without hesitation just to have more. Enough to even hurt yourself, if it's worth enough. Greed is the .01%.

Envy isn't just wanting what others have. It's hating others for having what you want, it's despair at the joy of others, it's wanting someone else's car even though yours is perfectly fine. Envy is stalking an influencer's pages, spitefully complaining that they don't deserve what they have. That it should be you.

Wrath isn't just anger. It's anger that canot be contained, it's hatred with no boundaries, it's an eye for an eye. Wrath is your local Karen screaming at a teenage cashier.

Lust isn't vanity - NOR is it inherently sexual! Lust is about desire. Lust is taking what you want (or, well, what you think you want) with no regard for the consequences of your actions. This one is gotten wrong by most churches, too, but that's because it's been repeatedly translated wrong. It is literally just about unchecked desire. Lust is that spoiled kid who throws a tantrum when they hear "no" for the first time.

Gluttony isn't just eating. It's overconsumption, to the detriment of yourself and others. It's drink, and drugs, and shopping, and gambling - it is the very thing that Greed most often targets to build itself up. Gluttony is the idea that, maybe, this cute new jacket will fill that void in your heart.

Sloth isn't laziness. Sloth is weaponized incompetence, it's manipulation, it's reaping what you did not sow. Sloth is that one kid in group projects who just signs their name.
