Lust is my favourite deadly sin. I focus it strictly on my wife.
Lust and envy for me right now. Lust for my husband (it’s been a long 6 months) and envy of all the soldiers coming home recently (there’s been about 5 homecoming ceremonies in the past 3 weeks). I know they’ve spent their time over there, it’s just hard not to be a bit jealous of everyone else’s homecoming when you are still months away from yours.
I am way too proud of my humility.
Sloth, with a side of gluttony. It used to be just sloth… now that gluttony is a bit of an issue, too, the combo isn’t terribly good for my health. :(
It would have to be a tie between lust and sloth. I spend a lot of time sitting on my ass lusting after my man. Come to think of it, most of that time I have a turkey leg in one hand and a box of bon bons in the other. Consider it a three way tie between lust, sloth, and gluttony.
Pride. I often focus on self-deprecation to keep it “stuffed down”. I often wonder if forced modesty equates to false modesty.
Envy, with a bit of gluttony.
Gluttony for sure.
Never have had issues with envy or the others…but…food, drink, yep…my hedonistic side is alive and well, although tempering as I get a bit older. lol
Pride. Zen wrote something awhile back that really helps me though, something along the lines of, “anger gets you in trouble but pride keeps you there”.
@Neizvestnaya
I like that too.
Yep, pride goeth before a fall…
People will let the loves of their lives walk away, disown friends and family and in general behave like fools, all in the name of pride. Sad.
Lust..without a doubt !!!!
Let’s see… There’s Lust, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Anger, and Gluttony. (I remember them from Gilligan’s Island and Se7en)
I really have no problems controling envy, pride, or greed.
Recently, I have noticed I get angry faster, but, mostly, I control it, mostly.
Sloth really isn’t an option, but I do spend too much time at the computer, and hardly any time on the walking machine.
Lust is difficult to control, but I do.
That leaves Gluttony, which is probably my biggest downfall.
