So in other words, if my friend has a job interview on Friday... This friend.
I don't know who this friend is.
I don't want his job for myself.
I want him not to get that job.
it doesn't affect you in any way shape or form I know I know and I hate myself for it so envy is the enjoyment of other people's failure and so the idea is and I suppose I should have said this earlier all the seven deadly sins are supposed to be love gone wrong or love gone to an excessive place your love of yourself gone too far your love of objects gone too far for avarice for envy your love of success which is not so bad in itself to be successful yeah
It's not a bad thing, but your love of success has curdled to the point where you enjoy other people's failure more than yours.
We've already had that one.
Then sloth, which we've already done.
Avarice, which we've already done.
Remember, we're into the lesser sins now.
Avarice, gluttony, lust.
So congratulations on making it there.
You've none of the above problems, and then we come to the last three.
Gluttony is not just eating too much.
This is quite interesting.
Gluttony also includes a fixation and a fuss about food and drink.
So the idea is, okay, so eating too much is still a problem, but so is eating too little, because it's fussing about food.
So gluttony is that moment where you really insist on something.
