Life ...
I guess the toughest challenge for anyone would be to lead a morally upright life. Whether or not the cause for religion or ethics, the challenge has indeed increase in difficulty. A view on the seven deadly sins.
Such sins may cause us to go astray. In the case of pride, it may kill a person's soul as he/she would believe that he/she is right in all sorts of situation. When he/she is proven wrong, it may be too late.
The sin of envy may create a belief of falsehood. Whether it is the desire for a perfect body of a model or wanting that MP3 player, it may cause us to look upon ourselves as imperfect and poor which is not true in most context.
In a country where food lurks just at any location, gluttony may be the cause of most illnesses. It could most probably cause someone to be lethargic making he/ her dropped his/her responsibilities as a person.
With technology present to aid in our daily life, it may also backfire causing disruption in our gracefulness to be loving human beings. With temptations lurking everywhere, it is difficult not to sin. Pornography, Men's magazine, liberal articals on sexual issues could cloud one's mind. Creating a de-grading image of the opposite sex may be the key objectives of the directors who strive for power and money. Men and their desire to lust. As one would say, "Sex Sell".
Violence in the media, computer games or verbal and physical abuse may spark off the sin of anger. With severed body parts, and cries of the disadvantaged being laughed at by our youth this days. It is no wonder why there is a rise in violence. Students killing their classmates, children rebelliously attacking their parents in rage or drivers who simply loose their patience and attacks another commuter. This is rather sad.
Material wealth is all we are wanting to have a comfortable life. Would it bring happiness? A miser would not! People who tend to forget that material wealth can never be satisfied would continue in their relentless pursue to attempt to satisfy themselves. People may be neglected such as children, spouse, friends and even your relatives. Giving up love for others just for greed would never bring the greater joy of loving your neighbour.
Lastly, to sloth around neglecting his/her responsibilities would be the worst of all. The countless opportunities to serve others or work for income would be dismissed living like a parasite who would depend on others to survive. He/she may slowly die in time with both the physical and mental strength dissipating bit by bit.
