The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Goods

Cale 2022-04-20 09:01:02

The seven deadly sins of the Bible: gluttony, covetousness, lust, pride, laziness, envy, and anger; from this deduce the seven good things: dieting, incorruptibility, chastity, humility, positivity, respect, and kindness. Food,

1. Explanation

1. The primary purpose of human existence is to live, and the primary medium of living is food, so "not hunger" is the primary desire of human beings, gluttonous people are those who cannot control their desires, and human desires are all human beings. The source of sin, the man who cannot stand even hunger, cannot, strictly speaking, stop any other desire. Therefore, dieting is not only "eat less", but also the only way to learn "control" and "rationality".

2. Greed is to deprive other people of the right to meet their living conditions through improper means when their own living conditions are met. Therefore, greed is the main culprit that makes human beings poor. Integrity is a road sign for a person to get rid of "selfishness" and lead to "big love".

3. "Sex" is the premise for the continued existence of human beings, and "prostitution" is the excess and abuse of "sex". The so-called chastity is not "chaste" the body, making oneself "asexual", but following morals and ethics, and more about maintaining the purity of the mind. Lust is the source of human depravity and the accomplice of sin.

4. The "pride" here has nothing to do with what we call "confidence". Pride has two meanings, one is blindly denying the other party, and the other is blindly affirming oneself. Anyone who is "proud" is a person who is not good at thinking, and is a person who does not know enough about themselves. For those who really know themselves, humility is a natural thing. There are two victims of pride, one is the opponent who is blindly denied, and the other is the self who is blindly affirmed.

5. Laziness has two meanings, one is that it does not provide any effort for human survival, and the other is that it depends on the efforts of others to survive. "Positive" behavior may not be significant in its own value, but for society any "positive" behavior is a force that makes the world a better place.

6. People with "jealousy" mentality have two thoughts, one is that "that person" is not qualified to get what he got; the other is that "self" is more qualified to get "all that" than that person. And these two ideas hide two deficiencies, one is a lack of respect for others, and the other is a lack of respect for oneself. The evil caused by "jealousy" occupies every minute of human life.

7. The root of anger is hatred, the cause of hatred is "unforgiveness", and the lack of motivation is "goodwill". If people could treat each other with kindness, there would not be so many grievances.

2. Summary

The "seven deadly sins" are the root cause of various human tragedies, and they are also the cage that human beings cannot escape from.

After reading many biographies, I found that great people all went to the opposite of the "seven deadly sins", which is the seven good things that I deduced. Taking Franklin's autobiography as a comparison, his life was almost a way of getting rid of the "seven deadly sins" and heading for the "seven good things". life.

I suddenly realized why Europeans and Americans believe in Christ, because the Bible is a book to persuade people to do good, but ordinary people believe in it, but great people believe in it. Anyone who has committed a crime, if given enough time, will regret it and will atone for it at all costs. Clinton's favorite book is the "Bible", Franklin's life in accordance with the Christian doctrine, Pascal's life in the defense of Christianity.

When I think of the "Zizhitongjian", I think of how to usurp power; when I think of Sun Tzu's Art of War, I think of how to fight; when I think of the Book of Wisdom, I think of how to deceive; only when I think of the "Bible", I think of how to die. In many crime films, before the criminals die, they hold a Bible in their hands, and they believe that this is an opportunity for redemption.

Any great person has faith, some people believe in philosophy, some people believe in religion, some people believe in music, some people believe in love. People without faith are people without energy.

Salute to the greats and the beliefs of the great.

    Extreme depression, a sharp horror, not only for all kinds of strange ways of death (the biggest highlight of this film, the way of death and the creativity that represents sin is amazing), but also for a pure evil. The conversation in the car at the end of the film can be described as a classic. The dialectics of good and evil and atonement are self-made but bloody peeling off the surface of human nature. The music and dialogue present the ultimate tension of the plot.

    The sequelae of reading a lot of stories is that the ending will usually be known in the last half an hour. . .
