Seven+Deadly+Sins+Glossary

=__** Glossary:**__ =



**Envy** (Latin, //invidia//) may be characterized by an insatiable desire; those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it.

**Gluttony** (Latin, //gula//) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, or its withholding from the needy.

**Greed** (Latin, //avaritia//), also known as **avarice** or **covetousness**, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess.

**Lust** or **lechery** (carnal "//luxuria//") is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature.



**Pride** (Latin, //superbia//), or **hubris**, is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).



**Sloth** (Latin, //Socordia//) is defined as spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what God has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive.



**Wrath** (Latin, //ira//), also known as **anger** or "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Anger, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.
