GLUTTONY (PART OF THE 7 DEADLY SINS SERIES)

I had so many sweets in TEXAS. This looked too good to pass up. Yummy! The best food is always on holidays! This is what I call a chocolate fix with a cherry on top. It tasted just as good as it looked too.

Gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. A misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy.

Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. The relative affluence of the society can affect this view both ways. A wealthy group might take pride in the security of having enough food to eat to show it off, but it could also result in a moral backlash when confronted with the reality of those less fortunate.

5 ways to commit gluttony:
* Praepropere - eating too soon
* Laute - eating too expensively
* Nimis - eating too much
* Ardenter - eating too eagerly
* Studiose - eating too daintily

What describes gluttony better than chocolate! In this case I am guilty!

Gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins!

7 Deadly Sins - Pride

I created a series on flickr dedicated to the 7 deadly sins! This picture indicates vanity!

Vanity or Pride is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. In many religions vanity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one's own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus, and others, attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity.

Philosophically-speaking, vanity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride.

In early Christian teachings vanity is considered an example of pride, one of the seven deadly sins.

I thought this was the best way to model vanity! A mirror shot of me pampering myself! I am happy with the way this came out. I used the Dynamic-HDR tool! I think it really brought out the colors in this shot!
