The concomitants of this figuring are sloth (or accidia), greed, gluttony, and lust, symbolic manifestations of indecision and then misguided coveting in that respective order.

The author compares sins with every day actions that almost anyone can relate with. In using these comparisons, the sins seem unalarming, almost as if they do not matter. The author’s life is reflected in each line of the poem; the doubt and…

Whether or not a person believes in God, there is a reason why John 8:7 in the bible states “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Everyone commits sins and we exercise that capacity routinely, but what matters most is how a person redresses it. Students in my classes commit these sins daily. Sloth is the sin I see in most of my classmates, as many…

    Sir Thomas More’s idea of a perfect utopian society is built around the sins of man. More attacks the seven deadly sins (lust, greed, sloth, envy, gluttony, pride, and wrath) by creating a society that will logically fix the fall of mankind. His utopia is supposed to simplify and remove the temptation to break any of the sins. The utopia is designed to create a perfect society that is functional and orderly. Though his society may seem logical in his eyes, his philosophies for the use of gold…
