7 Deadly Sins And Virtues Novels & Stories

Ang alam ko ay malalapit na kaibigan lang ni Wregan ang tinatawag niyang ganyan, at kabilang doon si Enver at Luca. "Right. You haven't formally met yet.” Lumapit siya sa akin. "He is Gregory Zahed, like me, Luca, and Enver, Gregory is one of the founders of the Seven Sins. I am not sure if I mentioned this to you, but in the Underground Society, I was called WRATH, a combination of the first two letters of my first name and the second to last letter of my last name. The same goes for Luca, who is known as LUST, Enver as ENVY, and Gregory as GREED. There are three more guys you haven't formally met: SLOTH, GLUTTONY, and PRIDE," mahabang paliwanag ni Wregan.

“Sumisimbolo ito ng kontrol, determinasyon, tagumpay, at aksyon. Magandang card ito. Ibig sabihin, matibay ang loob mo at kaya mong harapin ang mga paparating na pagsubok.” Medyo na-intriga ako. Mukhang tama naman ang basa niya. Muling nag-shuffle ang manghuhula at binuksan ang pangalawang baraha. Mayroon itong nilalang na may sungay, nakaupo sa isang trono. “The Devil,” sabi niya. “Sumisimbolo ito ng pagkaadik, pagkakulong, at tukso.

Knowing your sins is fertile ground for huge breakthroughs in life. Traditional religious sins try to reduce all these specific self-defeating behaviors into much broader, one-word categories of no-no behavior, such as "greed" or "pride" but those don't give us enough clues as to how else to go about things. I think if we want to make real changes in our lives, and sin less often, we need to get more specific, and more personal. "Kaya kita palaging pinagbabawalan sa labas dahil alam kong ganito ang mangyayari! Nakikita mo na?! Nadadala ka na ng tukso! Nadadala ka na ng tentasyon!"

“Marcus wanted a final psychological blow. He wants a number that mocks Leon’s genius. Leon’s design was rejected in favor of a simpler, cheaper structure. The height difference… the simplified ratio…” “No!” Chloe grabbed his hand. “He’s using Leon's truth against him. The Golden Ratio is 1.618. The perfect structure. But his heart was broken! The bomb is his heartbreak! What is the opposite of perfect?” Aiden’s eyes snapped to the lock. The opposite of the sublime, the perfect, the divine.

************************************ DEADLY SIN ************************************ (Shann's POV) Habang lumilipas ang panahon. Nag- iba ako. Ibang iba sa pagiging ako. Im became a sex addict and I dont know kung bakit. Minsan nga nagpeplease ako kay Dric na magsex kami. Haysst! Hindi ko na alam-- basta gusto ko makipagsex! Pero minsan napipigilan ko ang sarili ko kasi alam ko na mali na ako. Sumusobra na ako. Minsan nagsasarili nalang ako.

Hindi lang ito isang talakayan kundi isa itong patunay na may malalim silang pag-unawa. Tumawag muli ako. “What’s your answer, Miss Dela Merced?” “Ma'am, In Virtue Ethics Perspective. The decision depends on my intentions and the virtues I hold—like compassion, love, and justice. It's not just about outcomes or rules, but about what kind of person I become through this choice. Would killing someone I love make me lose my humanity?” Tumango-tango ako habang sinusulatan ang kanyang index card. Napapaisip din ako sa bawat panibagong anggulo ng tanong.

Mukhang ngayon pa lang ay nawalan na ito ng pag-asa na makuha ang gusto. "Naiintindihan mo na ba ang nangyayari Mr. Sandoval? Kung ako lang, kaya kitang tanggalin agad sa listahan. Ang problema, sa maling lugar at oras ka gumawa ng gulo. I'm Lust, one of the seven founders of The Seven Sins Association. Hindi mo man lang ba na isip na maaring narito lang sa kaharian ko ang mga kaibigan ko? Especially those three, the triad." "Mr. Lust help me. Hindi ko gustong magkaroon ng masamang record sa triad—"

Sunod-sunod kong tanong ng makabawi ako sa pagkabigla. Sa tanang buhay ko hindi ko pa narinig ang pangalan na ‘yan. And his name sounds scary for goodness sake! “I will remind you again that you have agreed to it already.” He said seriously. “He's a great guy if that's what makes you worried. But I'm gonna tell you Cecilia…he's not gonna fall in love with you so don't ever dare to like him, you'll get hurt. It is not possible to like him since I cannot deny that he has a feature of a god but remember what I have told you today.

Ang kanyang paghawak ay hindi na lang basta proteksyon; ito ay pag-angkin. "The Quadruple Sin is not a myth, Zion," uyam ng boses ni Xander na tila nanggagaling sa bawat sulok ng silid. "It’s a genetic trigger. Ang The Silk Signature ay hindi lang kumpanya. Ito ang ebidensya na ang mga Maximilian ay hindi tao—tayo ay mga mandaragit. At si Ava? Siya ang unang biktima ng sarili nating dugo."

Katulad ng iodized salt, mistula itong asukal. If I didn’t let my pride take over, I wouldn’t have signed the annulment papers. If I talked to Justin and hear him with the intent to listen, I would have gotten help earlier and I didn’t have had to leave him.

But humility and meekness overcome the sins of pride and wrath. And with unconditional love, those sins will never stand a chance.
