Seven Deadly Sins Series: Sloth

On practically every list, pride (superbia) is regarded the first and most terrible of the seven deadly sins. It is either the most angelic or the most diabolical of them all. [40] It's also regarded to be the genesis of the other capital sins, such as hubris (from Greek) and futility. It is defined as dangerously corrupt selfishness, which is defined as placing one's own wishes, drives, wants, and whims ahead of the benefit of others.

Wrath is characterized as feelings of uncontrollable fury, rage, and even hatred. The desire for vengeance is a common manifestation of wrath. [35] Wrath manifests itself in its purest form as injury, violence, and hatred, which can lead to centuries-long feuds. Wrath can linger long after the perpetrator of another heinous crime has died. Impatience, angry misanthropy, revenge, and self-destructive action, such as drug misuse or suicide, are all examples of wrathful feelings.

Greed (Latin: avaritia) is a desire sin similar to lust and gluttony. It is also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness. However, greed (as defined by the Church) is used to describe both an unnatural, greedy desire and the pursuit of material goods. "Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal crimes," Thomas Aquinas wrote, "insofar as man condemns things eternal for the sake of transitory goods."
