Hi Marife,

Your list of deadly sins is a good test. I went over it for self assessment and here’s how I think I fared:

1. Envy— not guilty. I am not an envious person. I never compare myself to others. I appreciate where I am, who I am, I don’t envy those who are better, greater, who has more. I just count my blessings. I accept that this is me, with all my flaws.

2. Gluttony—- I have a big appetite and my big stomach shows how takaw I am but I don’t consider my food indulgences as gluttony. I am in Vegas now and I only get to eat twice a day with no in between meals.

3. Greed —- if I were greedy, siguro super yaman na ako. Nope not guilty. I also don’t rip people off to make money. I also do not step on other people’s toes to go higher. I still have material wants, we all do, but that doesn’t automatically mean being greedy. It’s the way a person accumulates wealth.

4. Lust—- Oh oh, semi-guilty, once in a while pinagpapantasyahan ko ang asawa ko ng hindi nya alam.

5. Pride — eto ang kulang sa akin, habang tumatanda ako, nagigin akong mapagkumbaba.

6. Sloth—– guilty. I could have reached the stars if I were more hardworking. I did not push myself to the limits. I didn’t maximize my talents because until now I still don’t know what my talents are or if I have any. Wala akong outstanding abilities. I just know a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

7. Wrath—– semi-guilty. When I am angry, I am really angry. But my anger subsides fast. I don’t hate. I get mad easily but that’s it. Mabilis mawala. Except for my anger towards a few individuals. Malalim ang sugat, hanggang mamatay ako nadito pa rin ang galit ko sa kanila.

Regards,

OMB
