Hello fellow escapists, this thread is search-bar approved and also my first official thread. Woohoo, grats to me, yadda yadda.
To the topic of discussion. What is your favorite sin, and why? Also, how do you feel about the others? This is the internet afterall, so I'm expecting a lot of sloth and pride answers, especially since we're all hardcore gamers here. Also, I accept ties for first place, but your explanation better be good!
So, I'll start. Mine is wrath. I've come to the rather unfortunate realization that I enjoy being angry at people. Not so much being right during an internet argument sort of thing, I'm talking about real life. When people annoy me at work, I enjoy snapping back at them, or telling them to get the hell out of my store and take their snotty attitude with them. Or at my father, who yes, did something terrible to me and my family about a decade ago that I still haven't forgiven him for despite everyone else doing so a while ago. I gain a rather sick sense of pleasure from it, though I'm working on it.
I used to be pretty bad about sloth and pride, I was an elitist prick in highschool. But after moving out on my own and being with a very outgoing but not very booksmart girl for about 4 years I learned those things about myself took far more from me than they ever gave back, and I'm glad to be mostly rid of their influence.
Greed, envy and gluttony are essentially the same thing to me, and I've never been particularly drawn by material possessions or what other people have and I don't, I appreciate what's mine.
Lust is an odd one for me though. In my relationships I did have a lot of sex and I do still think about it a lot but.. due to some physiological and psychological issues sex has always been more about expressing my feelings to another person physically and not so much about my own pleasure.
