One of the most frustrating things in life is the issue of temptation and sin.
On the one hand, we know that as we are saved and we are being transformed into the image of human, we are blessed.
Yet on the other hand, we continue to fight our human lusts, whether for money, sex, power, or something else.
The mechanics of temptation and sin are simple. The great tempter, uses deceit to convince us that our flesh-driven desires are NOT in conflict with good desires for us.
As humans, we have a built-in fascination with sin. We love to see how close we can get without actively sinning. And once we have been tempted and have given in to sin, we seem to be even more susceptible to Satan's influence. Our society makes it even easier by displaying - even celebrating - sin, obviously everywhere.
Sins in today's life seems endless, but surprisingly, each one stems from one of only seven roots.
The Seven Capital Sins, seemingly obsolete, and almost never been brought up, have given rise to every world evil since the beginning of time.
From ANGER comes discrimination and racism.
Theft and burglary are the products of ENVY or COVETOUSNESS.
LUST is the cause of adultery, the degradation of women, and many more evils.
SLOTH, GREED, and GLUTTONY can contribute many more sins and problems, from poverty to alcoholism.
All of these sins are lethal, but the very worst Capital Sin is the one from which all other sin stems.
The sin of PRIDE was the first sin ever; the sin of the rebellious angels, and the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
By mentioned those not as that I have been tempted or committed myself (not lately though).
More of what i have witnessed or heard or be around those sinners.
It's breaking my heart and cracking my head when came to know of those.
Surely everyone is the sinners, no one is exception.
It's more of you never realise or really take into own-self if those are not your friends, your relatives or your love ones.
I am in the grey area where i once denied of its existence.
The consequences that happen are bitter.
Not only the one that got defeated by those sins but the people around them are also suffered.
Now by not knowing right or wrong. Left or right. Up or down.
Ignorance or get involved?
What should be my next move?
Where does the answer lie beneath?
