We always see others that have more than we do, whether it's money, happiness, or beauty. It's hard to be happy with what we have when we see others with more. Envy is a tough one.

These do operate in all of us. We just have to keep them in check and make sure they don't overpower the corresponding virtues in our lives. Good point. These do operate in all of us.

I found it easy to understand from reading your post why the seven sins are "so deadly", cause in describing them, probably the most used word is "excessive". All these involve too much of something. This is in general a dangerous thing from my point of view. Moderation usually works best.

Take the jester, for instance: that part of us is fun, joyful, living life in the moment. But it also can veer off into gluttony, sloth, irresponsibility, etc. And that's just the point: we all have all of these things operating in us. I am both responsible and irresponsible, accepting and envious. I think the danger comes when we don't accept that this is who we are, we push it aside, and it operates covertly, in shadow. It starts running the show and pulling the strings. Better to get it out into the light, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the thoughtful post. .-= Patty @ Why Not Start Now?´s last blog ..<a href="http://whynotstartnow.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/thirteen-tips-to-transform-the-story/" rel="nofollow">Thirteen Tips to Transform the Story</a> =-.
