NOTE

The Origins and Discussion of the Seven Deadly Sins

The concept of the seven deadly sins originated from a tradition developed by the patricians over centuries. The list includes Roth, which symbolizes polarizing disconnection, contempt, and division. Avarice reflects overconsumption and the dangers of love of money. Anxiety explores the quest for a stable self-identity and a sense of belovedness. Gluttony delves into numbing behaviors and distractions from deep longings. Lust is approached as the Christian sexual ethic, defending it as feminist and against dehumanizing practices. Pride represents the resistance to relational connections and the desire for self-sufficiency. Acedia signifies distraction, apathy, and neglecting important aspects of life, emphasizing the need to focus on forming values and aspirations.
