Lust (Retired)

The Seven Deadly Sins is a collection of vices that achieved infamy because they are sins that directly give rise to ALL other sins. They are classified as __eadly_ because these sins are abuses or excessive versions of natural human needs and passions.

The 7 Deadly Sins have been an important moral lesson throughout history, such as in Dante__ Inferno, where sinners are grouped and punished in Purgatory according to their sins. Even today, priests and preachers use the concept of the __eadly_ sins to help people curb their inclinations before dire consequences and other misdeeds can occur.

You might be surprised to learn that __ust_ is considered the LEAST grievous of the 7 Deadly Sins, primarily because it involves the intense longing for another individual instead of focusing on the solitary self. A healthy desire for touch and intimacy can become an obsessive craving for voluptuous flesh, a hunger for the heat of delirious passion, and the objectification of lovely bodies and their delicious parts. Remember, LUST, a __eadly_ sin is the excess of a natural desire.
