7 Sins...

Okay, so I just watched a relatively old movie...Seven.

It got me thinking...thinking about how people that try to be good, like me. And I dont think I'm thinking deeply enough...I mean...I try to be good by being nice, by helping other people, by doing things for other people, by being polite, by being courtious, by being accomodating, by being friendly, by being warm, by being virtuous, by being considerate...but then...I havent thought about what I shouldnt do. I mean...not to say that the 7 sins are morally right in our society right now, but what else shouldnt we be doing? I mean, obviously things that contradict that of what you are trying to do...

Well, I guess when you get down to it, it only matters if these sins mean anything to you. Is envy such a terrible thing? It can be channelled into motivation for people to do good. And lust? Too much of it can be overpowering, blinding even. But too much of anything isnt good. And what would life be without a little bit of lust? Greed? Greed can be good if its in moderation...Wrath? Its also motivation...its also a driving force for things to happen for other people. To avoid the wrath of others. I guess in an ideal world people wouldnt need motivation like that, but too bad this world isnt perfect...should I try to make it perfect by just changing myself?

Should I try to avoid these sins? I'm straddling the fence here. Yes, in an ideal world, everyone would avoid them, and everyone wouldnt need them to live a 'happy' life in todays world...but that doesnt happen...these sins have been altered and adapted to our everyday life.

I feel bad going against them, but I feel that most things, like morals, are relative. This puts a slight stabbing feeling in my heart, because I'd like to believe that there is a place for all good people that try to be good, and obey certain values will go (i.e. Heaven) but this puts a slight dampen on the idea.

Meh, these are just a bunch of unorganized ramblings. Ignore them.
