Blake Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just say what your major vice(s) is(are) and why. No one words/tiny posts, as I'm sure LZ would be less than pleased with you. The vices in question are Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath. Personally, my major one is envy. I desire more of what others have, be it knowledge or anything else, sans physical possessions. It's not that I don't desire others to have things or positive moments, it's more that I question why them alone. Could say more, but don't want to ramble.

Kazooie Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Literally all of them except Pride. I envy so much, especially from people I shouldn't. I love overindulgence in general and overindulge in whatever I can, I'm greedy and lustful, I'm just lazy (I mean I'm on YCM for goodness sakes), and... When I get angry, it doesn't fade for a long, long time... x-x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wrath. I am not a violent person but my anger is seemingly undying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hmmm.... Major ones are bolded, minor ones are italicized. Envy: Well, I naturally desire the power, knowledge, and other useful things that others have that I, myself don't have. Take the status of a millionaire (to say the least); they have the resources to take whatever they want without a second thought, be it companies or cities, etc., while they can also use that power to benefit the world as a whole. That kind of power, I would like to have, and I covet such power that other people have. Gluttony: To be perfectly honest, this is my most least practiced vice out of them all. Literally, I eat only when I need to, but sometimes I do eat for the hell of eating. But I do refer to the idea that I eat to survive, but at this day and age, it's kinda hard to die without food. At least in a well developed nation. I digress, but I always try to eat what I can, and save the rest for later. Guess that's all I can really explain on that regard. Greed: Oh boy oh boy. Greed. Where do I begin? Well, let me just say that it goes hand in hand with envy. I want power. Money. Immortality, y'know. The most cliche of things that come with greed. But of course, it can be said that this vice, isn't so much of a vice as a virtue. For if a vice is used for good, is it a vice? I want the power to make a better world, but it requires money most if not all the time. Therefore, I want money to accomplish the task of achieving power. With power, can come, in due time, some sort of immortality. Perhaps not the immortality that you're thinking of, but immortality in a sense that my ideals can live on. Sort of a spiritual immortality among the world. Lust: Personally, I find this one rather interesting to talk about. I say this because, well, I don't desire any sexual activities or such. But this is a more a greed thing. Relish in the life that I have now, lust the life that I've forged myself after giving the tools. I made my life the way it is now, and I lust myself in this life. I can also say I lust for the power I currently have, while finding myself in greed for the power I want. Pride: There really isn't much to talk about here. I pride myself to a fault sometimes, and can't practice much humility if at all. I can rarely take a joke sometimes, unless it's with my friends because I know that they're joking, for example, gay or inside jokes. However, if there is a line that is crossed with certain jokes, I take high offense to that, and such can even invoke some sort of wrath. I also find myself to be rather the envy of some of the girls around me, concerning my hair. I do nothing to it - no hair products or anything, natural growth - and they're wondering what products I use. Imagine that! Sloth: I'm a lazy-ass and I admit it, and take pride in it. I don't take full effect of the sloth in myself, unless it's doing work I don't like doing. Or when I'm waking up in my bed, and I'm slow to get my lazy *ass out of bed because I don't want to and it's too time consuming and I don't have enough energy to do it. I also find myself lazy in trying to achieve some of the goals I want. But yet, I try and achieve my more idealistic and most wanted to achieve goals without any sort of sloth behind it. Wrath: I admit, I can sometimes get out of hand, and do some sort of damage. Literally. One time I was young, and had one of the first gen Duel Disks, and broke it out of sheer anger. I really cannot remember why it happened, but I was mad, and even more so when I broke it. This is probably the top ones with greed, envy,and pride. Digression ended, I will bring to light that I am actually trying to control my anger sometimes, but like stated in pride, if there is a line that is crossed, concerning myself, I invoke wrath upon whatever: those around me, those away from me, and even myself. For example, if I'm losing in a soccer game, I start getting irritated. However, the one moment that I get tripped or pushed or whatever, I lose it. I push back and start fighting just as dirty, and I even kicked the ball in their faces a few times. By the end of the game, I still have hatred to vent out. On the other side of the spectrum(s), I can have some wrath against myself, and the world. I say myself because in truth, as a human, I am naturally weak and powerless against the forces of nature or against some sort of authority who has such power, and hate myself for it. Not the sad kind of hatred, but the more like, "Dammit! I want more power, but I don't have it! Dammit!" and I can be mad at the world for incredible things that only harm the world. I won't go much further detail into that, but I have a certain wrath against humans. Wrath. I am not a violent person but my anger is seemingly undying. Bro, when did you get back on?

ListenToLife Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Going by Enrise's method: Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Wrath, Pride Greed: I do like myself money. I'm always after more, for some reason; and yet I never know what to spend it on. I dont like spending large amounts of money on myself either, and when I have money, I spend a lot of it on friends. And yet I crave it anyway. I dunno, it's just weird. Gluttony: This is the one that mostly pisses people off, because I'm almost underweight, and yet I eat and eat and eat and eat. I probably go through an entire packet of digestives a day, alongside 3-4 meals (including breakfast) and ice-cream/cake/chocolate after most meals. I'm a greedy b*stard who should be fat, who probably will end up fat eventually. Sloth: I think this is perfectly legitimate for me, because I'm an insomniac, so I'm always tired. So if I feel like I need to rest for a bit, to make up for that fact, I think it's acceptable. Obviously teachers seem to disagree, but meh, I'm passing their subjects well anyway. Lust: Not necessarily sexually, I'm not that much of a perv, but I do seem to want to date any pretty girl who is nice to me, which I guess can be kinda lustful, if only lustful for company and friendliness. Envy: I dont see how people cant have this? The grass is always greener. It's horrible. Anything that other people have that I dont, I end up wanting. Particularly talents or features that they have. Why is that person so tough? Why can that person sing so well? Why do they get eidetic memory? And it's not me for all of them. That pisses me off. Pride: I guess I'm actually proud of this, but I dont get proud of myself, or up myself, though I apparently can give the impression. I can be sarcastically proud, pretend to be proud/insulted/fullofmyself to get laughs, and most of the time it works, but people can take it too seriously. I can take jokes and insults easily, and there aren't many ways of insulting me that can actually get to me, and you'd struggle to hurt my pride as a whole. I know what I can do well, I know what I fall short at. I'm realistic, and I'm proud of what I can do, envious of what others do better. Wrath: Now this used to be my biggest one. I was one of the angriest kids around - I once tried gouging another kid's eye out because he stole my sandwich. Nowadays though, I dont really get angry. I just get tired, or annoyed. When I do get angry nowadays, it also fades really quickly, though It does result in short bursts of violence (I was having a particularly bad day a few months ago, and a friend pissed me off, so I broke a tennis racquet over his back. Snapped it in half. About 10 seconds afterwards I was apologising to him, not angry at all, and feeling guilt-ridden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gαr Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 My biggest ones are sloth, gluttony, and wrath. I'm not that huge into envy and pride. Lust and pride are kinda in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pretty much all of them except gluttony, I don't eat much. Although, I suppose buying things compulsively could count as that, so everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Following Enrise, though I also made it from greatest to least Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Envy Sloth: I have a hard time getting off my butt to do something. This can be quite the serious problem especially when there's a lot of things I want to try or do but am too lazy to go do them. I sometimes sleep or do other stuff, like read or draw, in class, but that's only because I already understand what the teacher is talking about and I'm done or almost done any assigned work. Though for assignments to be done outside of school hours, I procrastinate, it's gotten better over the past year, but I still do it, most of the time getting my ass out of bed early the day before to finish it off. I never have a problem with sleeping in though. Pride: Slight superiority complex, but I always keep it to myself, I suppose that makes it not so much of a vice because what it does is make me want to try harder thinking "if that kid can do it, I can do better" instead of bragging or demeaning others. I also have a very hard time admitting mistakes or changing my ways. Combined with wrath, if I feel hurt I retaliate or rebel. Wrath: I have a volatile temper, but I keep it in check when outside, however, I do get angry, lash out (not physically at my family members, thank god) or shout often at home (Fus-Ro-Dah!) and it's sort of like an inherited trait from my Dad. I used to hit people when I was little, but I don't any more both because of some more self control and because I live in a peaceful environment, my class and friends all count as "the good kids" who play nice, actually study, get relatively good grades and don't do drugs, smoke or drink (the last with only one or two exceptions) so no one gets me angry. Greed: I want money, fame and power like anyone else. I am slightly selfish, only willing to share after I've gotten *enough* of whatever it is myself except when I'm feeling particularly happy or generous. Don't worry, it happens now and then. Gluttony: I like eat a lot. When bored, I wander in the kitchen to grab something unhealthy to eat. I never turn down offered food, unless it is something I dislike or if I'm seriously full and I actively seek out yummy stuff. With Sloth, I'm too lazy to learn how to cook and too lazy to get anything that would require more than ten seconds of my time to prepare (microwave and toaster don't count as my time because I can go off and do other stuff while I wait). Lust: No comment. Envy: I'm pretty much never envious of anyone, and when I am, it's not serious at all. See Pride, I just work myself harder to attain goals and any goal I don't think I have time for, I discard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I used to get really angry over minor things, but I've gotten better about that, so I'm no longer Wrath, but I used to be. Honestly, I can't say I fit many of these things to any extreme extent. Seeing as how I'm scrawny as hell, I'm certainly not gluttonous. Greed is an interesting one. I wouldn't say I'm selfish, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to help someone I don't even know, so I can't say I'm very generous either. Asexuality is basically the antithesis of Lust, so, y'know. Envy, I wouldn't think so, because I'm pretty comfortable with my standing in life. I rarely get jealous over petty things. The remaining two, however, are a different story. Sloth is a definite one. I'm lazy as hell. I procrastinate over everything, and spend all day on my laptop, playing games, or both, if I have a choice. Pride is also a weird one with me. I'm not exactly always "I AM THE BEST AT EVERYTHING!" but I'm not exactly the most humble either. And if the previous examples are anything to go by, I outright say that I don't apply to most of the seven deadly sins, which, really, is a bit of an arrogant thing to say.

Fusion X. Denver Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Lust and Sloth are my primary vices. Lust because I'm a single college male with no need for further elaboration and Sloth because I procrastinate on schoolwork and I'm pretty lazy in general; I should exercise more and get some hobbies. But I'll put my nose to the grindstone when I need to. I'll feel envious if I'm in a negative mood, but that doesn't happen as often as it used to, so it's subsided a bit. Gluttony flip-flops, I'll eat a lot if I like what's being served, but otherwise I'll show restraint. I'm trying to cut back on my junk food intake too, so hopefully that works out. Greed, Wrath and Pride are virtually nonexistent in me though, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My biggest issues are as followed:Greed: I'll admit it. I am a greedy person. If I see something I want, I have to have it and I will find a way to get it. By any means.Lust: I'd drop the whole "oh I'm a guy, it's k" argument I got some time ago, but that's bs, I dunno though. I think it's a matter of me controlling myself honestly.Wrath: I've been to anger management. Three times now. It doesn't help. Despite that, I'm a boiler. I build shit up (not on purpose) but ironically enough because people say I'm too nice. I've hurt more people than I can count. I've lost friends and relationships I thought would last forever. I still don't fully realize how violent I am, but I want to change that. I hate being angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the several paths in life that can lead to extreme happiness or depression. And why not the entirety of christianity? There's more than just catholics doing sinful stuff.

Therefore I can safely assume that YCM is almost entirely populated by Catholics. Wow. Well aint you an arsehole. Lets start with the more basic thing: you seem to have some sort of issue against Catholics, so much that you instantly assume anything bad = Catholics. Care to share this issue? I'm mainly curious because, from what I've seen, you're rather wrong. In fact, I see many Atheists here, though the presence of Christians is also prevelant; I'm not sure it's dominated by Catholics though. Everyone is 'sinful' anyway, from what the Bible or the qu'ran say of Sin. But Sin is a rather flawed concept anyway, restricting people's freedoms in such a way. As for greed, most people desire more money and such anyway. Personally, I'm thankful I dont seem to be totally greed controlled; I end up getting my money and then giving it to others/buying things for others.
