Which Of The Seven Deadly Sins Is Your Favorite?

Recommended Posts

  • Members

Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride

Lust is out for me. Because of diabetes I'm impotent; last erection was a year ago.

Gluttony is out too.  The nursing home controls my diet; no cheating.

I guess it's Sloth. Nothing much to do here in the way of activities; bingo three or four days per week.

Lust & Pride!

A tiny  bit of Greed can also be  occasionally useful in a practical sense. ^_^

You will get over these in the next 15 or so years or so I predict.  Sorry.

 

Best regards,

A little artfully managed Sloth can also be strongly contributory to success. I sleep 9 or 10 hours a night nowadays, therefore in the 3-4 hours/day that I do my business work, I get more done, and at better quality, than my competitors who drive themselves day & night.

Managing and directing one’s bad habits to one’s benefit, I have found throughout life, is vastly more effective than simply trying to fight them. ;)

Which seldom works out anyway.

Isn't it thought provoking how many of us define ourselves by what we do to earn money?  That includes me and escorts.   :)

OTOH it probably is a waste to take out a full page ad in a business journal to explain that you enjoy bird watching on most Saturdays.

My other point is Mama Nature is always standing by to deprive us of our long developed customs just as we become proficient.

Best regards,

Agree (somewhat, not entirely) with yr second point.

Re your first point, the inverse statement of it is my view: if you find and/or stumble your way into your true calling(s), it will make money for you without seeming like work at all.

Think we have agreed this point before. :cool:

Once I started flying I never worked another day in my life.   :)
