In my opinion, the greatest sin is self-doubt. It was she, not pride, as they say religious people, and not laziness, as the unknown sage, may cause any, absolutely any sin.
You don’t believe me? Look: we know the seven deadly sins. Let’s go in order.
1. Pride. That who is obsessed with pride, considered himself better than anyone else, right? A sort of attitude, “All the Pygmies, and I – D’Artagnan.” Now think about it …
Better or worse, steeper or not – what has to deal this with the fact that if man is really self-sufficient and confident in his abilities?
2. Envy. An explanation is not even required. As you know, confident, successful people are not affected by it. But unsure of themselves have often the poisonous worm gnawing envy of his neighbor.
3. Gluttony. By this sin, self-doubt leads not so much as to others, but it happens. Have you ever seen fatty teenagers seize another bummer on the love front, with regular chocolate? Or middle-aged lady who after a long day at the hated low-paid jobs is comforted at night by watching TV while eating?
Of eating disorder usually are suffering losers. And of insecure people are usually obtained – yes, they – the losers.
4. Fornication. He’s lust, as someone like it. We shall not talk about people with high libido or about those who chose not to make a living brain, and body located far below. Tell me about those who raise their confidence with another line in the list of amorous victories.
5. Anger. Sometimes occurs completely out of nowhere. For example, today in my eyes the brutal-looking young man was rude to a young saleswoman with the use of obscene words, high tones, and other wonderful attributes. This was the case? Hardly. It was done simply in order to assert themselves at the expense of poor girls.
A similar affirmation is necessary only in the case insecure people. No matter how they are self-confident and brutal-looking.
6. Greed. For greed can also cause uncertainty. ”My neighbor bought an expensive car – am I worse? It is necessary to earn / steal for it‘’.
7. Despondency. ”Oh, I’m so unhappy. Oh, nothing works, it’s not even worth to try. “ If he believed in himself, he would have tried. And rebuild his life.
Of course, the sins have many other reasons. Just the other – for example, the desire for pleasure or innate vanity – do not make your life so wretched as self-doubt.
