Haha well said! I was using it metaphorically, but yea perhaps a bit of pride is involved sometimes. I try to be aware of it though so it usually doesn't surface too much.lenin_117 said:That sounds a lot more like pride. Maybe you should reconsider.S.H.A.R.P. said:Definitely sloth.

Definitely not envy, I came to the conclusion a couple of weeks ago that I'm simply never jealous; at worst I simply couldn't care less about someones possessions. Lust and Sloth seem unlikely to me, I'm not really lazy and not all too sex-driven. It won't be Gluttony either, I'm not much of a big eater really - I'm often annoyed by the fact that I have to stop eating something I like because I'm simply full.Leorex said:Out of the 7 deadly sins what will most likely be your downfall?

You're in luck, I had the same 'problem' when I was in high-school. Problem is, I never got bad grades, it didn't matter that I did not study. For my exames, I only studied math for 30 minutes, and barely opened my books for other subjects (or not at all) and I still got A's and B's. It's biting my ass in college now though: I can't work, I never learned to work, I'm not used to do something. My confidence also suffered, since I don't see anything I did before as an achievement.Skeleon said:Pride.
I tend to have good grades and get overly confident.
That makes me study less than I actually should, until I get a bad grade which puts me back in my place.
I know of this problem, obviously, but that doesn't stop me from behaving this way.

I'm pretty sure avarice is just the Latin word for greed.ace_of_something said:Avarice for several reasonsLeorex said:Out of the 7 deadly sins what will most likely be your downfall?

1) No one else has picked it
2) You put 'greed' down instead and I'm nothing if not a nitpicker. There is a difference between the two because it's not on every internet list of the seven deadly sins because most people don't like the word.
Avarice was in the game Afterlife so I think it's supposed to be on there instead of greed. As (think Simcity except you manage heaven and hell)
Anywho. Avarice is basically hording wealth and power just for the sake of having it and not doing anything with it. Kind of like being a cheap bastard. Greed is just wanting lots of stuff which falls under envy.
I definitely horde my money and refuse to spend it even when I don?t need to. Just the other day I got in an argument with my lady on how I felt it was unnecessary to plant flowers in the flowerbed outside our house and that it was too expensive. I lost.
