Seven deadly sins


           Many people have different things that they consider as sin. In the Bible, there are seven deadly sins. Those are Wrath, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, and Lust. Wrath is vindictive anger, Greed is too much desire of something, Envy is Jealousy, Pride is being too self-satisfied, Sloth is laziness, Gluttony is too much desire of something to eat, and Lust is the need to fulfill unspiritual desires such as sexual desires. Among those sins, ones that I am guilty of are Greed, Sloth, and Gluttony.

           First of all, I am guilty of Greed. I sometimes want new shoes or clothes even if I have many of them. The reason that I think that I am guilty of Greed is that I want something while I have many of them that I don’t use. I always know that I have to use what I have first, but when I see something pretty, I just ask my parents to buy one even though I should not get one. Fortunately, my parents do not buy something for me without proper reason, thus they prevent me from overspending money on what I actually don’t need a lot. I think now I have to prevent myself from wanting many things because that is greed and greed is bad thing.



           Secondly, I am guilty of Sloth. This might be the one that I am guiltiest of entire sins. I am just too lazy and slow. I always do homework right before the due date and I prepare for school really late. I can wake up early, but my laziness make me sleep again, thus make me late for school. In 9th grade, I had 4 pages long research paper and I had only 1 page done a day before the due date. I had to work so hard in order to write 3 more pages a day, and I regretted for it. However, even if I regret every time that my laziness brought me a problem, I am still lazy. Same thing happens all the time because of my sloth. Now I really want to change my self to a hard-working person because these days, I heard a lot of things from graduated seniors that college is way different from high school. They said that I can’t do like what I am doing in high school, such as being lazy and pushing all the homework right before the due date, because colleges have so much work to do. I will try my best to change myself not to be lazy but very hard-working.

           Finally, I am also guilty of Gluttony. Gluttony is similar with Greed but this is desire of food. I think the reason that I always swear to myself that I am going to lose weight but fail is Gluttony. I can stand feeling hungry, but I love to eat something delicious. However, something tastes great would make me gain weight and fail to lose weight. If I didn’t have gluttony, I would successfully lose weight. I always plan to lose weight every year, but I failed it. This year, I will try really hard and success my plan.
