The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It's always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.

Why were you sent here? See below.

Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.

Greed: you shoplifted from a small 'Mom & Pop' store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn't count).

Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.

Lust: you propositioned your spouse's younger sibling (and got turned down).

Envy: you keyed your neighbour's new car.

Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.

Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. That was a good read. Some of those things seem significantly worse than the others. Is there more to that?

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not at all. It's all down to one's personal view of what is 'bad', plus they're the first things that came to mind!

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. Does that mean it's more determined by the conscience than the consequences of one's actions?

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't think it through that much.

That's okay. We're a casual internet forum of strangers. We're not responsible for that level of Philosophy. I was just curious.
