The Cure for all deadly sin … ( 08 / 09 / 2013 )
Lust desires to know pleasure & comfort for oneself , … while LOVE only desires to bring Joy to others . As such , LOVE dampens all lust .
Gluttony soaks in superficial excess & ravenous consumptions , … while LOVE only wants to share all its excess with those in need . As such , LOVE extinguishes all gluttony .
Greed yearns for effortless ease & material wealth , … while LOVE only strives to give to the downtrodden . As such , LOVE dismisses all greed .
Wrath craves revenge or control , … while LOVE only seeks to forgive & to harmonize . As such , LOVE neutralizes all wrath .
Envy covets the riches & successes of others , … while LOVE only yearns for all to rejoice . As such , LOVE calms all envy .
Pride attempts to convince or convert the “ ignorant ”, … while LOVE only wishes to empathize & encourage … As such , LOVE dismisses all pride .
Sloth tries to make “ love ” a passive thought or a giddy feeling , … while LOVE makes Love into a verb .
As such , LOVE shatters all sloth .
My dear Friends , we are all walking around in fleshly machines that are programmed to “ sin ” — bodies that are calibrated to repeatedly “ miss the mark ” by caring for self first and others at some point thereafter … And yet we are all also so much more than mere machines .
It is our ability to LOVE that makes us so . So , sinner … got LOVE ?
