The Seven Deadly Sins (The Dragon's Sin of Wrath)

The sheer power of wrath and its absolute ability to desolate and destroy everything that could have been created. Meliodas was the captain of the Sins and he was from the demon clan. He had this care free, yet, very empathetic behavior that showed just how much he cared about people. Yet in his darkest and most furious form his abilities could level a whole city and cause immeasurable destruction when his alter ego of wrath is triggered.

There is no better time than this point in my life to write about this. There is a kind of anger that seems beautiful. The kind that is like a fairy tale. One that compels the one who wields this power to kill for love. And then with wrath one destroys all in his path to save the happiness of the other. I find it really troubling when things get destroyed, especially when the destruction is without discrimination. In the wake of the destruction the very people we seek to fight for are full of fear and there is nothing you can do to get things right. “Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city” [Proverbs XVI:32].

The Dragon’s Sin is an accumulation of all the deadly sins. It is a wide spread toxin in the soul initiated from the very first sin of pride. In our anger, our ego takes control of our actions, because we are slothful we have failed to discipline our conscience, and we have robbed our minds and bodies of the virtues of peace and humility. The darkness that awaits once wrath has taken its toll is long and dark and painful because nothing can be done to fix the desolation this ancient fiery serpent, this dragon, leaves in it's wake. No form of anger is good, not even a Meliodas-love-triggered-wrath to defend the love of his life Elizabeth. 

“Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly” [Proverbs XIV:29]. Dear Lord, help us all that we may learn to take control of our anger for we must depend on you always to guard our souls from wrath when we are about to fall for this sin even when it disguises itself as holy or patriotic. May patience and self-control be our mantle because we know the best battle we can possibly win in life are those in which we conquer our inner demons. We may fall a lot of times. We will not despair. Let us forgive ourselves and never stop fighting against this vice and above all may we not lose our peace of mind in Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.


“In your anger, do not sin: do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold… Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths… Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice”

[cf. Ephesians IV:26-31].

THE INEXHAUSTIBLE WEALTH OF GOD'S WORDS

My dear friends, contemplating the uniqueness and universal nature of scriptures had challenged me to seek insights on the meaning of Faith and why people believe. The truth is, as Humans, we all share similar beliefs despite our differences in " religion ". There is a need to highlight these similarities and show that "the Good" and "Moral Codes" are quintessential to the glorification of the human race. The deeper you get into your spirit, the more you understand that the Word of God (as understood by most in this generation to particularly mean the texts of any of the Holy Scriptures) are inexhaustible. Concerning the texts of the Christian Faith, I used to be of the school of thought that one interpretation must be superior above all others and it must be universal ( Gk. Catholicam ). I used to judge people who consider it more personal than universal because, in most cases, they consider their understanding to be above those of many others. T...

LETTER TO MY UNBORN CHILD continues. Read on...

  The story continues... In life we seek to hear from God, a sign as the Jews sought for in the days of the prophets, yet when we are presented by these signs we are too blinded by our own fears and doubts that we fail to see the handwriting on the wall. Such a beauty it was to have seen God touch down on earth to complicate our lives by giving us blessings disguised in the form of crosses that we can bear. Such a jolly it would have been to face the world   bearing each others crosses and atoning for our sins as well as the sins of many by diligently going through life with the burden of an "unexpected" pregnancy. Yes "unexpected" is the word and not unwanted because I know how much I wanted you. I know how much I always wondered if I would ever have you. I know how many dreams I had hoped would come true when you came and I would have lived up to expectations as a father and husband. I prayed for a day you would come but I never expected you to come so so...

The Seven Deadly Sins (The Boar's Sin of Gluttony)

Yes, the symbol of Gluttony is a pig, but what I can never reconcile is why a slim beautiful lady, with exceptional alchemy, was made the Boar’s sin of Gluttony. I just don’t get it Nanatsu no Taizai! To properly understand this sin, we must know that the Glutton is not one for just the size of what he eats, it’s for his avarice and his lust for the pleasure he derives from these things that are meant for the goodness of his body. Gluttony applies to food, alcoholic spirits and beverages. All these things should be taken in moderation (although I must argue that moderation varies with individuals). What we must be cautious about is that we are not given into these things. The dangers of this vice to the body and soul outweighs the pleasure (O, I assure you some sins are very pleasurable). When we eat our fill and drink our fill we automatically open another appetite with a very strong desire to attain its fill too. Gluttony paves way to Lust and exposes the soul to fornicat...
