7 Deadly sins - LUST

Lust is probably one of the most popular sins out of the 7 deadly sins. It also can bring forth almost all the other sins. You get greedy with personal needs. Lust evokes anger and envy. When you get what you lust for you are gluttonous about it (overindulge). Also and last but not least, one can get proud of all lustful achievements met, how twisted that may be. The only sin not part of this is sloth, due to the obvious fact that lust is a very engaging and sometimes tiresome thing.

7 Deadly sins - SLOTH

Sloth, a term which im sure some of the lecturers would like to add to the list of things that describe me. However after reading the definitions and seeing this image, I strongly object to any reference to me with this term. This is of a completely lazy person with no will to live and make some form of living other than merely existing.

7 Deadly sins - GREED

"Greed is good", a cheat for warcraftIII, a VERY popular computer game. Is this really what kids should be repetitively typing and learning? Obviously the begging individual is NOT the greedy one here. We all know that you cannot help EVERY person but this level of greed portrayed is just too much.

7 Deadly sins - PRIDE

Nothing else really symbolises pride like a lion. Ironic then that they call it a pride of lions? This definition is what I chose to base my understanding and image relating to pride upon. Definition from: www.dictionary.com

PRIDE:
Pleasure or satisfaction taken in something done by or belonging to oneself or believed to reflect credit upon oneself.

7 Deadly sins - ENVY

My understanding of envy is wanting something that someone else already has. Goes hand in hand with lust. Lusting for others property, looks and lifestyle.
