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.
(Lust refers to excessive and immoral desires.) The desire for sex and the quest for thrills are the most extreme crimes of sexual desire. 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. Arrogance is considered to be the most primitive and serious of the seven deadly sins because Satan has the power to rule the world, and abuse of power is a form of arrogance. )
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
