Wrath(anger), greed, sloth(laziness), pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.
The "seven deadly sins" that are present in all of us. Known as capital vices or cardinal sins, they may not sound too appealing. But we need all of them to be human.
We should feel wrath or anger if someone mistreats us or someone we care for, we need to so that we can be proud that we are able to share our opinion, stand up for our beliefs and protect those that we love, or even those that we don't know but need support.
We need greed so that we have the ambition to succeed and get what we want, but yes, it needs to be a give and take situation.
We all need to take time out, release your inner sloth! Take time to refresh, experience gluttony and indulge yourself. Just make sure that you've done enough to deserve the luxuries you're indulging yourself in!
Envy. It is horrible to experience, but if handled in the right way, it makes you work harder. Seeing someone as superior to you, makes you aspire to be on their level, or even above. So do it, get there, and be proud.
Lust = desire = aspirations. See, want, get. If you don't get, have pride and self respect, and move on!
Theses cardinal sins are like toxic chemicals. They are needed for use in various scientific things that I don't understand, but they need to be handled carefully or they will do serious damage.
