This post is written as an entry to the challenge topic “Seven Deadly Sins”.

Seven deadly sins..I know you must be reckoning about Christian keystone and ethics. Yes, you are right! Seven deadly sins are the echelon of loathsome debauchery that had been used since early Christian times to educate and counsel Christians concerning fallen humanity’s tendency to sin.

The fallen humanity from people sparks many disputes. Everyone should have an affirm enlightenment of sins, to ameliorate the feeling of love and god in their heart. A person apparently commits some of the sins every day.

Seven deadly sins are: Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, Wrath.

A Petite information about seven deadly sins:

1) Pride is excessive belief in one’s own abilities that interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

2) Envy is the desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation.

3) Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

4) Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

5) Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

6) Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

7) Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

But I am not presently going to give you more orientation about these sins, I have something exclusive. I had amalgamated these sins with many disputes in India. As described below:

The First sin: GREED

For sake of greed, a man eradicated his own blood, this is India, which got independence from British but not from greed. I can say Most of the population in India is somehow correlated with the sin greed. Corruption is India is an outstanding example of greed. Now-a-days, corruption can be seen all over, especially in India. It is like cancer in public life, which has become so abandoned and preserved in India. From small scale industries to International business, it’s everywhere. Everyone is committing transgress every day. In India, corruption is like a Tsunami smashing life. For greed, people can go beyond any limit. A minister giving speech on anti-corruption can be a monarch of corruption. It’s degrading! They talk of chastity and their inner voice is something else. When the Minister to Inspector is linked with greed, then I can say it’s insurmountable to end this greed. They need to study laws by book of god again, to gain some morality, humanity and chastity in their personality.

The Second sin: LUST

Lust is the matter of doing negative exertion just for the sole pleasure of body. In India, I relate the parsimonious lust with sexual abuse and use of drugs by populace. Sexual abuse in India is spreading like salt in water. Recently in Nagpur, A 50 year old Man raped his own daughter for five years and now she is pregnant. It’s poignant. This man has not only ruined a sin, but he has a devil inside him. The father, whom a daughter trust a lot in terms of safety, understanding, trust, security, has demolished her trust. A Monster! 62,800 cases were reported in India of sexual abuse in 2010, it is a figure by national crime records bureau. It’s a pessimistic figure. Just of body lust, monsters spoil innocent life. The other sad story of lust is Use of drug by people of India. With a turnover of around $ 500 billion, it is the third capacious industry in the world, next to petroleum and arms trade. Drugs are decimating families. Approx. 190 million people all over world consume drugs. The obsession causes colossal human distress, but its gives a kind of fake pleasure to addicts too. Just for their sole pleasure they do everything like theft, murders. It’s a lust which is killing the humankind from the people.

The third sin: ENVY

Envy is the kind of bamboozle done for gaining one’s assets. In common words, it is popular as robbery. In India, robbery is like Ancient jewel. From pirates to cyber crime, it’s abolishing the soul of India. Why? People get covetous of other’s success. Why can’t they do the same hard work for ameliorating same gratification? Snatching and Robbery cases are going up day by day. This is true sign of committing the sin, the Envy sin.

The fourth sin: GLUTTONY

India is developing and accelerating from dhaba to malls and restaurants. The endowment of food is increasing but it also leading to wastage of food. The quality of fabric is improving but leading to Un-craved shopping. Simply wastage of money and resources leads to ruining sin, Gluttony. The total no. of malls in India is approx. 300, it was just 20 in 2003. This astonishing development is making everything from 100 rupee to 2000. People are wasting their money. And like an innocent committing a sin.

The fifth sin: SLOTH

Laziness is a kind of disease. Laziness has become the part of modern society. People are relishing the most advanced automatics machine. From cooking food to feeling cool, people use automation products. It’s an example of true development in India. Development is not fallacious, but the excessive use of anything made it delusive. From shopping centre to online shopping, development had made everything very easier. It’s good! But such advancement has making people to stop doing physical work, a kind of sin, SLOTH. It is the new definition of developing India.

The sixth sin: PRIDE

One side India is developing like other countries but on the other side, it is still under the furrow of old mentality. They treat their children as their own personal property. They decide the life of their children from birth to marriage. They take every important judgment of their life. Another Important chapter of pride in India is killing girl child just for safeguarding family reputation. They do murder of their blood and have no bitterness about it. India is still prison under handcuff of vulnerable mentality. Is this a true satisfaction of feeling of pride? A person who can’t comply the rules of humanity, have no right to be call a human. This events in India, is the mournful sin of pride.

The seventh sin: WRATH

The world is facing the dilemma of violence. Wrath sin is associated with the people who kills love and brings fear in eyes of many people. People adopt the operandi of onslaught for making their wish fulfill. They kill people just for revenge. India is the country with large population. It means immeasurable chances of crime in country. Some times in India, ministers provoke people leads to riots in the country just for the sake of few votes, many killed, many families demolished. An Un-human nature of people, they need a true guidance of bible, Ramayana, Koran, and many other scriptures. It’s reality!! To end the clamor from the society, they need education about humanity laws by the god’s scriptures.
