A favorite topic the last two weeks. Demons. A recent game ranks demons as the seven deadly sins. Pride being the strongest demon. Demons aren't physical people who look badass and wear cool shades and have horns. This makes the threat more real. The reason I call these sins demons is because sometime we don't have control. We cannot beat them morally. We are blinded and stupid. Sometimes we even encourage it. By that time I realize that I am inoxicated by it and stand at a moral cross road. Face to face with the demon. Given a choice. It will tell me tales of rewards.
Pride.Soberbia. I am right. Everyone else is at error. "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." I think to myself that they are commiting the sin. Isn't that ironic.
Envy. Invidia. Surrounded by talent I often evade company. I become envious. I desire the talent that I could never have or have ever earned.
Wrath. Ira. Easily induced. Never satisfied. Examples to numerous and embarrassing to name.
Sloth. Socordia. The subtle one. I never realise it before its to late. Then regret sets in. Meeting this one face to face is hard. He promises time. Who can argue against that.
Greed.Avaritia. This one does not need much explaining. Something at the cost of someone else. Time. Effort. Money. Wine.
Gluttony. Gula. To drink and eat excessivly. Wine. A drink to many.
Lust. Lujuria. Impure thoughts. Desire. If this demon were pesonified it would be a she and would look something like megan fox with horns.
ITs very easy to fall prey to these demons. I think I have all of them inside me. Just waiting for an opportunity. It is a constant battle between me and them . Somehow I have always known that. The scary thing comes now. And I will recall this very reluctantly. There is something inside me that is immune to these specific seven demons. I discovered it the other night. Its very hard to describe. Almost animalistic. For a minute it didn't care for itself. It had no desire. No need. No emotion. Pure animalistic instinct. Talented. Beautiful. Undiluted. Then it was gone.
Question is: Is it man or demon ?
