These sins are often thought to be abuses or excessive versions of one's natural faculties or passions. Dante Alighieri: lust, gluttony, and greed- all excessive or disordered love of good things; sloth- a deficiency of love; wrath, envy, and pride are perverted love directed toward other's harm.
• Greed: Differ from lust and gluttony, greed is applied to an artificial desire and pursuit of material possessions.
• Gluttony (Latin, gula) is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of waste.
• 出自《道德经》第四十四章，“名与身孰亲？身与货孰多？ 得与亡孰病？甚爱必大费；多藏必厚亡。故知足不辱，知 止不殆，可以长久”。 • 名誉与生命，那一个更亲切？生命与财产，哪一个更贵重？ 获得名利与失去生命，哪一个更有害？因此，过分吝惜必 定招致更多的破费，丰厚的贮藏就会招致惨重的损失。所 以，知道满足就不会糟受屈辱；知道适而可止，就不会遇 到险情，这样才可以保持长久。
