\u00a0“Satanism advocates indulging in each of these ‘sins’ as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.”<\/span> \u00a0-Anton LaVey<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The sins being referred to are the seven deadly sins: greed, pride, envy, anger, gluttony, lust, and sloth. \u00a0Here I will discuss three of these “sins” and how they are actually good for you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lust.\u00a0 This seems to be one of the biggest ‘no-no’s’ out of all the rest. \u00a0For clarification, we’re not talking about whoring around with no intention of physical pleasure.\u00a0 What we are talking about is feeling good \u00a0and recognizing that undeniable, uncontrollable feeling of wanting someone, sexually, of needing them to make you feel good and you returning the favor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This situation doesn’t just happen suddenly as both parties need to be feeling the same way about each other to capture a lustful experience. Certain things need to be in order, such as where you are, how you’re feeling etc..\u00a0 For example, if you’ve just finished an 8 hour shift at work, it’s pouring rain, your bus is late, and you forgot your umbrella, \u00a0chances are are pretty good that \u00a0if you see a good looking guy\/girl lust wouldn’t even enter your mind.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But lets say you’re laying on the beach. and see that same person from the bus.\u00a0 Only this time the situation is in agreement with the feelings.\u00a0 You like how they look and you can’t stop staring, and they come over asking if they can join you.\u00a0 Perfect recipe for a truly lustful experience.\u00a0 Lust is the yearning for physical gratification.\u00a0 If it feels good and you hurt no one, go for it.\u00a0 Just in case my opinion isn’t enough included are a couple of \u00a0links to peruse:<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Envy.\u00a0 Envy is a motivator.\u00a0 Very simply, if you see something (or someone for that matter) \u00a0that you want, you do what you have to do to get it (without sacrificing yourself) \u00a0For example if you see someone with a car that you want you wouldn’t steal it because it would be sacrificing yourself to either jail or worse if the owner catches you.\u00a0 So instead you may get a job, open up a bank account to save your money and when you have enough you \u00a0buy the car.\u00a0 Perhaps without seeing this person in the car, your mind would have neglected the motivating factor it needed, thus this achievement never would have taken place.\u00a0 But since it did and you now possess the car, it leads us into the third ‘sin’ pride.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now after setting and meeting goals, and finally reaping the rewards, you feel pretty good about yourself.\u00a0 And you should! \u00a0Having a sense of pride builds up confidence as it allows a person to believe in herself.\u00a0 In your mind you may say \u00a0“I did it!” which in turn plants the seed of \u00a0“If I did that, then I know I can do (insert \u00a0goal)…” \u00a0So the next time your goal may be set a little higher knowing the feeling of pride would intensify. \u00a0Pride doesn’t mean your nose is constantly in the sky or your attitude is woefully arrogant, but rather \u00a0feeling good about yourself.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong with that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I don’t understand how pride has gotten misconstrued into a sin. Is it because people think of \u00a0pride and being vain are the same things? \u00a0They are not. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously.\u00a0 A person may be proud without being vain.\u00a0 Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” \u00a0<\/span>-Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Concerning the Sins, I think these feelings \u00a0were disguised as immoral to create a sense of fear.\u00a0 When fear is created control is possible.\u00a0 Each of the seven deadly sins are unavoidable and in most cases uncontrollable. Doesn’t this also make them natural?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
