The Seven Deadly Sins and our Combat Armor

As the old saying "no one is perfect" we commit mistakes from time to time. In our mind, words and action. To live in harmony and peace we need to act accordingly but sometimes we are driven by our emotions.

Some people claimed that they are perfect. How sure are you? How sure are we? We cannot tell or know the things that runs in your mind. Some people may act according to the rule but within their inner self they hide the true face of a beast.

In this world we have the so called "seven deadly sins." Lets discuss this one by one and know our armor on how to defeat this kind of act.

1. Pride

I personally believe that pride is a bad thing. Most of the time pride can be a root or cause of evil things.

But, what do you mean by pride?

Pride is when you feel that you are superior in everyone around you. You think that you are the most intelligent and you possessed all the good characteristics. This people treat all the people around him as inferior. We can say that this person is too arrogant.

How to combat the this kind of act? The only thing is the so called humility. Let's remain humble that no matter what achievements we have don't ever treat other people as different. We are all equal. It's okay that we are proud and confident in ourselves but you need to set some limits on that.

2. Greed

Greed is the result of lack of contentment. Its not about money always. Greediness in love, wealth and fame are all bad actions. If we aim more and ignore the things that we have today time will come that no one will be left on your side.

How to combat this act? Its simple just be generous always, be grateful on the things that you have because the things that you have today maybe the things that other people wish to have. Treasure every little things and be contented because contentment is the root of true happiness.

3. Envy

Sometimes we ask our one true king of nonsense questions. Why is that Im not beautiful or handsome? Why is it that my friends are rich? Why? If we always compare ourselves to other people it will lead to envy. Our fate is different from the rest we are the one that holds our fate. If you complain in every little things and you are envious to other people nothing will happen.

How to combat this act? Its "love" accept all your imperfections and love the people around you everyone is unique and don't compare yourself to other people.

4. Anger

Its normal if we get angry sometimes especially if some people repeatedly disappoint us or broke our trust. But to hold a grudge or get angry for a long time is not a long term solution. Many people will try to enter our lives and hurt us but at the end of the day you should not forget the word forgiveness.

How to combat this act? Act with kindness that no matter what the world throw into you, you will just smile and offer a bread and wine for them.

5. Lust

Tempted? You desire the people that you love or the person that you adore? If you cannot control yourself and be eaten by your emotions surely you will fall in the abyss.

How to combat this act? Good self-control. Try to discipline yourself and know your limitations.

6. Gluttony

You're asking for more and more. It does not only focus on foods. If you always seek to much attention that you want the people around you think only you and always prioritized you and you want them to treat you in different way. Aside from that it also focus on material things, if you buy and buy those things which is not important anymore just because you want to seek attention I think its too much.

How to combat this act? Know your limits, if you know your limits you will be guided always. One is enough two is too much.

7. Sloth

The act of laziness. If you always sleep and you waste your time in useless things you need to be awaken. Wake up and reflect, do something, your laziness waste your half of your time in this world. Be productive and contribute in nation building.

How to combat this act? Live positively, if you are an optimistic person you will attract good energy around you. Your energy will flow in your system like a river. A positive mind can brought a positive result.

In conclusion, its inevitable for us to make mistakes and sins. But the most important is you need to surrender yourself and ask for forgiveness. Repent and never do thay anymore.
