once upon a time,
thoughts were pushed back.
things went back to normal.
yellow was on the top charts,
black was the last.
assumed rich, denies all myths.
yet all made it a belief.
with a cosy warm exterior,
the chill was felt in the interior.
frostbites were often,
and numbness soon followed.
up towards the moutain,
the sack filled with features weighed a tonn.
darkness caved in and without a torch,
everything went into a blur.
what'll happen?
no one would know.
it wasn't a choice or an option.
but a decision.

time is running short.
soon, everything would be disconnected.

"Sin creates [an inclination] to sin; it engenders vice by repetition of the same acts. This results in perverse inclinations which cloud conscience and corrupt the concrete judgment of good and evil. Thus sin tends to reproduce itself and reinforce itself, but it cannot destroy the moral sense at its root."

Para. 1865, Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994

have you ever committed a sin?  No one is pure. we all had our sins that we've commited. So, what are the 7 deadly sins? How do we try to combat it and avoid these sins?

PRIDE

This is the unwillingness to look at one's faults honestly, or of esteeming ourselves greatly based on an excessive consciousness of abilities or worth. This is vanity, and is often euphemistically called, 'self respect.' 

The virtue of it against this sin is HUMILITY and a CONTRITE SPIRIT. Whereby we should strive to see ourselves as the sinners that we really are, and not to compare ourselves to others, that we might appear to ourselves better or more righteous.

GREED

Aka Avarice. It is the inordinate love of possessions and desire for either material wealth, or to gain more than one needs. Be it power, food, love or money.

The virtue of it against this sin is CHARITY/GENEROSITY. We should seek to understand that generosity means sacrifice, and letting others to receive credit or praise. To give wanting nothing in return, is the true charity which combats greed.  

ENVY

This sin is that of jealousy or perverted love because it is the love and desire to own what belongs to someone else (exodus 20:17). This transgression is the discontentment over another's superiority over us in possessions or some good fortune. Envy is the resentment of the good others will or have received. 

The virtue of it against this sin is CONTENTMENT and LOVE. We combat this sin by being noble and honestly joy over our neighbor's good fortune, as if it were our own. That is loving our neighbor as ourselves (James 2:8) and being meek in spirit.

WRATH

This is the transgression of anger or strong exasperation in rage at something or someone. It is often the result of our impatience or of having our pride hurt. 

The virtue of it against this sin is LOVE and PATIENCE in dealing with the faults of others. We combat this sin by reigning in the passion of the flesh, not neglecting charity and love, and being patient where we show kindness and compassion to others, forgiving their transgressions seven times seventy.

LUST

Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. It is an excessive thought or desire of a sexual nature. Sex, power, money or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control.

the virtue of it against this sin is SELF-CONTROL. We should seek to remove from our realm or sight all temptations or snares which we might fall into because of our weakness.

GLUTTONY

This sin manifested in someone who indulges himself excessively in eating or drinking. 

The virtue of it against this sin is MODERATION and SOUNG JUDGEMENT. Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance and by praying for strength to reduce our desire to eat. We should learn to quit eating before we are feeling stuffed or full.

SLOTH

Sloth is the inclination to being lazy or to abhor the work ethic. Man is to provide for himself and his household, and being idle is a contradiction to this command of God. 

The virtue of it against this sin is ZEAL and WORK. We can combat this sin by repentance and in praying to God for an ardent and energetic interest or desire to respond to God's commands against our disdain for physical exertion.

Admit it. We all had commited at least 2 of these sins. For me, I think it's all of the above. No matter how much we seek for God's forgiveness, it's death that are the wages for these sins.
No worries, there's eternal life waiting for me at the other end(:

Current Mood: TIRED!

TIRED. TIRED. TIRED. When will be a day whereby i would wake up feeling refreshed instead of still in zombie mode when going off to work? I hope the day will come. But in working life? Unless I love my job, in an enjoying interested manner, never will I feel freshen up and so looking forward to work. Saying hello to the empty office became such a habit and bore that when I look at myself, I looked bored and FAT and FAT and FAT. Yes I dare say I gained weight again. Damn those fats. Damn my metabolism. I really should go korea for some plastic surgery! Then I'll be 예쁜다!

Speaking of korea, guess what. I'm starting to go korea fever all over again. This time it's BIGGER and HUNGRIER. Lols. But! Abit Sian about Koreans cause teenagers are now into them too. And i get so, Argh! about it. I hate it when some stuffs become common. Like the value is not there any longer. I still remember those days where i go korea fever with Rain): Whereby the korea value is there. Now, it's like my precious is being taken away!

Learning abit here and there on reading korean words. It's hard! But no worries. I've got plenty of time at work. Must practice. So yeah! Here's some korean groups that are hot and popular since long time ago but i just realised them. I can't find all the boy bands pic. So just some(:
 

*P.S: My sister was the one who intro me. HAHA.

Current Mood: Bushed!

words that hurt cause
tears to flow
yet tears weren't enough
to make the pain go
a foolish act, a foolish mind
made scars
became permanant
on mine
forever it will stay
no matter how hard I want
it to go away
END 

it seems to me
that I'm gullable enough
everyone seems to be
cornering pushing
pressurizing
when will it be my turn
to control my own life?
END
