The Seven Deadly Sins, when mentioned, conjure up ancient tales of dark deeds and dark characters, like Faustus and Mephistopheles. Dr. Faustus supposedly sold his soul to the devil, the evil Mephistopheles and, in so doing, made himself prey to all types of corruption and degradation. In his descent into wickedness, the ruined Faustus committed all of these deadly sins: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth. These sins were considered deadly because they led Faustus, or any man or woman who would commit them onto a path from which there was no return.
The characteristics that are considered to be the seven deadly sins can be described this way: Pride is the exaggerated opinion of one’s worth in comparison to God and others and a willful oblivion to one’s flaws. Envy is the unhealthy longing for the possessions, abilities, or status of another. Gluttony is excessive indulgence in the pleasures of food and drink. Lust is extreme desire for sexual and sensual gratification. Anger is manifested by fits of wrath and rage due to intolerance of others. Greed is an insatiable desire to acquire material goods. Sloth is an almost pathological laziness which hinders productivity and good health. Anyone possessing some of these vices was considered evil; anyone who possessed all of them was utterly doomed.

There are Seven Deadly Sins known to man. GREED, LUST, SLOTH, WRATH, GLUTTONY, ENVY AND PRIDE. Each of these sins make up a part of the world we live in. We were always taught that by sinning, we were sending our souls directly into the flames of hell for eternal damnation. To be sent to God and his angel's, one must perform innocently, without commiting the seven deadly crimes. One who performs lust, is a whore. One who performs sloth is lazy. Another performing envy is jealous. They are more than labels, to us -- they are matter of factly; a way of LIFE. We are at war with one another, always. One is determined to be better than the rest.
