"Seven Deadly Sins" The Third-Revised

     More on the foundation of failure, How the "Seven Deadly Sins"  set us up for a miserably and empty life. Even one of these vices is destructive, and since they are so intertwined and "co-dependent" it is hard to have just one.
    This study has been educational and enlightening for me and I hope for any readers as well, it has become apparent how easy it is to "COMMIT" one of these "SINS" and I am realizing that I may not have known the complete definition of any of them.
       Take number three for insistence- SLOTH- Growing up I was taught that SLOTH was laziness and it is in the purest sense. I beleive we all are guilty here, some more that others, While idleness and shiftlessness are listed as synonyms the critical definition is- a disinclination to action or labor or spiritual , moral or emotional apathy and inactivity.
       I, as most people do, feel a high degree of frustration with those who are not self-motivated, those who make little or no effort to better themselves or provide for their families. I tried hard, both as a parent and with any opportunity I have to mentor or influence young people to encourage them to show initiative. Instructing them that if the will simply "put out an effort" that someone will acknowledge that effort. I want to make the point  that I know many "adults" who need to be taught this as well. I am not a "Life Coach" or Pastor , but, I have been called upon to try and influence many "adults"  to "BUCK-UP" as well. I know grown people who will call me, Email me or Message me on Facebook and ask for a phone number which they could have found for themselves. I hear reasoning such as "Well I thought you might know it and I wouldn't have to find my phone book."or even the admission "I was just to lazy to look it up."
      In past BLOGS when I have written about social and poetical issues I have  discussed  being concerned about APATHY.  I, and others whose work I read or listen to are aware that this deadly SIN may kill the hopes and dreams of many and destroy a healthy way of life in this country and many places in the world. If you haven't read it I would refer you to a BLOG of mine from September for more on this issue as it relates to Social and Political Issues.    APATHY.; "Click Here"
      I am saddened by the fact that I hear so many say today, "I just don't care anymore" and at the same time many, at least politically and socially have moved from the middle ground and have become energized to action and do care.
      Society has made it easy to be lazy, fast food [which I enjoy], fast computers [which I must have] etc. We have become accustomed to having things fast often using convenience, as an excuse. Things must be fast to give us more time. So we can be too "BUSY" to do important things. I, myself, out of "slothfulness" may have taken the easy way to make, fix or accomplish a task, NOT because I need the extra time for some useful purpose but just because I was lazy.
       I beleive having made things so easy we have applied 'the quick fix' to many things which really need our full attention. W have become LAZY regarding education, work, child rearing, criminal justice and most other issues. We have drive in or even drive by, Funerals, Church Services, Medical Care, mail in voting, online banking, and most local, state and federal government business can be done on line. You can order almost anything, including food by computer and have it delivered to your home. The entertainment business is currently under going major changes, large video chains shutting down or drastically changing the way they do business, {and why not ? you can order your Pizza and your movie without leaving home}.An old preacher friend of mine would say "Get up off yer butt bone and stand on yer feet bones and use yer head bone to put yer hand bones to doin' sumpton."

IT HAS BECOME CONVENIENT NOT TO CARE ABOUT ANYTHING.

IT OFTEN SEEMS THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IS SITTING ON IT'S BOTTOM SCREAMING
