The 7 Deadly Sins

Today I have read some interesting post in a blog.
It somehow reflected on my life abit but this post is not about that.
Today dear readers I want to reveal the seven deadly sins.

The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of the most objectionable vices that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen humanity's tendency to sin. The final version of the list consists of wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

They were translated into the Latin of Roman Catholic spiritual pietas (or Catholic devotions), as follows:

Gula (gluttony)
Fornicatio (fornication, lust)
Avaritia (avarice/greed)
Tristitia (sorrow/despair)
Ira (wrath)
Acedia (acedia)
Vanagloria (vainglory)
Superbia (Pride)

In 1589, Peter Binsfeld paired each of the deadly sins with a demon, who tempted people by means of the associated sin. According to Binsfeld's classification of demons, the pairings are as follows

Lucifer: Pride (superbia)
Mammon: Greed (avaritia)
Asmodeus: Lust (luxuria)
Leviathan: Envy (invidia)
Beelzebub: Gluttony (gula or gullia)
Satan/Amon: Wrath (ira)
Belphegor: Sloth (acedia)

The 7 Deadly Sins are something that we should prevent from.
This demons of temptation as mentioned are the cause of our actions that are known as sin.
Let us know this well so we can prevent doing it.
The mistakes made due to this 7 deadly sins can cause other to suffer, whether it be ourselves, our loved ones or people around.
So let us understand well the effects of this sins and distance ourselves from it.
