I have known you
For only eight days.
And in those eight days,
You committed every sin.
Your Greed took away all I'd worked for.
Your Lust took away my best friend.
Your Sloth took away my time.
Your Wraith took away the trust.
Your Envy took away the best thing about my life.
Your Pride took away your chances to admit it.
Your Gluttony took away everything I'd cared for.

Don't be too proud
and don't be unkind.

destroying mine!
Dear Pride, what do you
exactly want from me?
Do you real

Greed.
Sloth.
Pride.
Lust.
Envy.
Gluttony.
Aren't they all connected? Don't they cause each other?
We want to unleash Wrath when we don't get what we want.
When we think God doesn't understand.
When everyone is below us and we can't have a good conversation about ourselves.
When we feel things towards a person physically, things we've never felt before.
When someone has the things we want.
When drink intoxicates our brain.
We become Greedy for power, for those to feel our Wrath.
When we reach for the things of the world.
When we live for attention, and want to bask in it as long as possible.
When we need to feel like
