Chapter 15: The Seven Deadly Sins: Arrogance, Laziness, Gluttony, and Lust

Lust refers to excessive and immoral desire. The desire for sex and the pursuit of stimulation are the most extreme crimes of lust.

Indulge their own desires, only pay attention to the satisfaction of the body, ignoring the communication of the mind.

In a narrow sense, overeating is equal to wasting food. In a broad sense, it means “indulging in“ something, such as drinking, abusing drugs, accumulating unnecessary goods, indulging in gambling and playing without thinking of making progress.

Laziness is condemned because others need to work harder to fill in the gaps. What should be done has not been done well, and it is harmful to oneself without any benefit.

Arrogance is considered to be the most primitive and serious of the seven crimes, because Satan has the power to rule the world, and abuse of power is a kind of arrogance.

Indulge your desires, focus only on physical satisfaction, and ignore the communication of the heart. In a narrow sense, overeating is equivalent to wasting food. Broadly speaking, it means "indulging" in something, such as drinking, taking drugs, accumulating unnecessary items, indulging in gambling, having fun, and not thinking about progress. Laziness is condemned because others need to work harder to fill the gaps. If you don't do what you should do well, you will do yourself harm.

Enter the City of Endless Pain through me

Through me into the pit of eternal misery

Through me into the doomed crowd

is propelling my exalted Creator

I am the crystallization of theocracy, divine will, and divine love

There was no eternal creation before me

I will be with heaven and earth for a long time

Those who enter will be cut off from all hope

Arrogance is precautioned in arrogance - heavy punishment is carried on it

Jealousy: Jealousy is in jealousy - sewing the eyes to punish it

Violent anger is in anger - black smoke punishes it

Laziness is to be punished by laziness - to run

Greed: Prohibition is in greed - lying down and punishing

Gluttony: Prohibition is in hunger - hunger is punished

Lust is abstained from lust - fire is punished

— Dante, The Divine Comedy: Purgatory
