“When Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Avarice, Gluttony and Lust overwhelm us, we stop perceiving the world around us clearly. With pride we’re no longer sensitive to events and details, everything’s blocked by our absorption in ourselves. In envy, our hatred obscures our vision, reducing the lives of others to a commentary on ourselves. With anger, we only see one side of an argument, and with sloth, we no longer have the will to notice much at all. With avarice we obsess, with gluttony we fixate and with lust we fantasize, and in each case we find that we’re ripped away from the reality and variety of the world. If the Deadly Sins share one thing in common, it’s how they alienate us from our environment.”
