“Such personal traits as greed, lust, gluttony, brutality, pessimism, negativism, are made in reference to some people’s character, behavior, mannerisms and social habits.

Each of these traits or behavioral patterns shows a lack of self-discipline, a lack of ethics, a lack of caring what other people see, a lack of self-control, and a lack of moral obligation to other people’s likes and dislikes.

Greed comes in many forms and in many ways, for many reasons and in many areas of life. It demonstrates selfishness, possessiveness, insecurity and disregard for charity or good manners.

Gluttony is not directed only to one’s eating habits, but is seen by an overabundance to absorb many things, sometimes to such a point that it omits totally any regard for others’ feelings or needs.

Lust is ugly because it preys on another human being in spite of the feelings of the other human being. Lust in itself is repulsive to the victim of it, especially when the victim is not willing to be a part of the act or actions.

The above three characteristics of some people are prevalent throughout the world today. In looking at the full meaning of each one of these words, one must see them for what damaging effects they have on the one whose behavioral pattern indulges in such behavior, and what effects mentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually this behavior has on the victims of it.

There is not enough emphasis taught on the importance of self-control and self-discipline. Also, there is so little said or taught about the Importance of God’s Ten Commandments. If one would but look at the full meaning of These Beautiful Directives, Commands, one would see how the emphasis is structured to direct all men’s thinking to self-control and self-discipline as the keys to Sainthood.

The will of man is a powerful armor, weapon, and source of freedom to choose, to decide, to change, to correct any and all thoughts, words, deeds and actions to strictly a direction of purity of mind, body and Soul.”
