The source of SE7EN

God created the world in seven days; Satan is a great red dragon, who have seven heads and

seven crowns upon his heads. There is seven angles who fallen from heaven and turn into devil

called satan.

All the Catholic believe that there is seven deadly sins: Pride， Greed， Lust , Wrath, Gluttony ,

Envy and Slot.

pride

In almost every list, pride (Latin, superbia) is considered the original and most serious of the

seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important

or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of

self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of

self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor."

This is picture of Lucifer. He is symbol of pride. It said that he is the greatest angel in heaven. But

he doesn’t submit to Jesus. At last, he became Satan

Greed

Greed (Latin, avaritia ) is like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the

church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as

man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things."

This is picture of mammon. He is symbol of greed. He is one of satan’s sons

Lust

Lust (carnal "luxuria") is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. In

Dante's Purgatorio, the penitent walks within flames to purge himself of lustful/sexual thoughts

and feelings. In Dante's Inferno, unforgiven souls of the sin of lust are blown about in restless

hurricane-like winds symbolic of their own lack of self control to their lustful passions in earthly

life.

This is picture of Asmodeus. It ‘s said that she’s a woman. But I don’t think so. She is symbol of

lust.

Wrath

Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings

of hatred and anger. Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and

hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the

person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different

ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism. Dante described vengeance as "love of

justice perverted to revenge and spite".

This is picture of Samael. He is symbol of wrath. In holy bible, they called him is prince of the

devils. He plant the tree of knowledge in the garden of eden.

Gluttony

Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the

over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian

religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food for its withholding from

the needy.[13]

Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. Where food is

relatively scarce, being able to eat well might be something to take pride in. But in an area where

food is routinely plentiful, it may be considered a sign of self-control to resist the temptation to

over-indulge.

This is picture of Beelzebub. He is symbol of gluttony. In holy bible, they called him vampire lord.

Beelzebub means fly king.

Envy

Like greed, Envy (Latin, invidia) may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however,

for two main reasons:

First, greed is largely associated with material goods, where as envy may apply more generally.

Second, those who commit the sin of envy not only resent that another person has something

they perceive themselves as lacking, but also wish the other person to be deprived of it. Dante

defined this as "a desire to deprive other men of theirs."

This is picture of Leviathan. It is symbol of envy. It is a sea-dragon. I can’t understand why it is H

symbol of envy.

Sloth

The focus came to be on the consequences of acedia rather than the cause, and so, by the 17th

century, the exact deadly sin referred to was believed to be the failure to utilize one's talents and

in Dante's time there were signs of this change; in his Purgatorio he had portrayed the

penance for acedia as running continuously at top speed

This is picture of Belphegor. He help people invent something and then people will became lazy.

Just like we use computer writring but use pen no more.

My Opinion

I think we cannot change the world, we cannot change the other’s mind, maybe we are small and

weak in front of God, but we still work hard in pursuit of a life what we want, but just keep in you

mind that there is seven deadly sins, you cannot committed. Because one cannot commit the

seven sins with impunity. In China we say that 善有善报 恶有恶报。 I think everyone should

have a kind heart. It can’t change our social. But it’s good for our self. Your kind and your soul will

find some comfort.
