According to the Catholic Church, 7 sins of death are pride (modesty), envy (purity), anger (kindness), laziness (diligence), greed (generosity), overconsuming (reasonable), and lust (without lust). Even if we wouldn’t see them as deadly sins there is an important message in these. We shouldn’t be like the sins, but rather target seven virtues. One of these may be quite good in the right amount, but it is better to strive for virtues. In fact, there are far more virtues than the seven Christian ones, which are faith, hope, love, courage, justice, wisdom, and self-control. The four virtues of ancient Greece were courage, righteousness, love and friendship. Virtue is a character that is seen in your actions. When you focus on the virtues, the 7 deadly sins will be overshadowed. Of course, they do not disappear, but when we can only have one feeling at a time, we can only focus on one thing, either good or bad feeling.
In these writings we focus on virtues and their benefits, that is, approaching it through positivity. However, it is good to be aware of the bad ones, to understand which virtues are effective against which sins. Being positive and seeking to eliminate bad through virtue is not closing your eyes to reality. On the contrary, decide to be in a good mood and let positive things affect your soul environment. So, going through the good things and letting them grow, then the energy radiates outside your body and attracts similar people and miracles happen. Thought is a more powerful tool than we can imagine. Therefore, it is more important to think positively and to affirm positive things in our thoughts.
So, there are more virtues than these 7. I think the most important virtues are love, forgiveness, gratitude, generosity and diligence. I’ll tell you more about these in later blogs.
