Gluttony Vs Greed Novels & Stories

Ashlyn mocked with her red nail polished palm on Leone's wrist. "No, the people that always look for opportunities to mock others about food are called stupid. They complain about wasting food at the slightest opportunity because they hope that the food would be theirs. They only want the good things of life but not without putting others down. Now, I'm not sure whether to call it stupidity, gluttony or just plain old gold digging." Gabby spat, threw her napkin in Ashlyn's face and walked away earning giggles from the maids and a fuming look from Ashlyn. "If I don't get her out of this house soon, then my name is not Ashlyn." Ashlyn swore inwardly as she got up from the table and walked to h

"When I use my power from the sin of sloth, I can see people's powers and predict what they'd probably do. This is one reason why I said that I know all. Now do you get an idea of how many powers could possibly exist? It may take forever before you know every single power there is to know of." "I see... But the powers of each sin do share some base characteristics?" "Yes, they do. Powers of lust centers around manipulation of the mind or emotions.

“Problems only happen when you start devouring outta greed. It doesn’t really matter what you’re after - money, things, lives, power. If you eat up a lot of it, you’re gonna hurt the hell out of a lot of others in the process. And I can’t abide by that, not even a little bit. Shit really angers me deep down. Like, blood boiling, can’t control my trigger finger angry. “If greed was a person I could evaporate with my gun, I wouldn’t even hesitate to pull the trigger on them. Not even for a fraction of a second.”

Once he started stealing the money, he bought extravagant cars and jewelry for his wife, that one was pride, and the excessive obsession with wealthy items was gluttony. His reason for the materialistic things was jealousy and desire to be like the men at the top of the firm, Joseph wanted his name to be on the sign outside of the building, and he thought that having money was the way to get there, that was envy. The only thing left was wrath, which I was only waiting for to be able to send him to where he belongs.

He was so considerate that he seemed nothing like the Green family's usually cold and retrained heir. In the past, he would never have cared so much about me. He had only tossed me a credit card and said, "I show my love with money. Spend as much as you want." Back then, I had taken that as the most romantic confession in the world. But after seeing his group chat with his friends last night, I finally understood. Money had never meant much to Sean. When he gave me money, it was no different from him paying his employees. It had never meant anything more than that.

Instead, their entire soul was consumed by the highest members of the court. Each of the sins, when harvested, would be converted into multiple types of food, it resembled human food but different. Lust was sweet and juicy like the fruits of the human plane, gluttony was fatty, envy was sour, pride was juicy with a hint of blood like a properly cooked steak, wrath was spicy and always gave me heartburn, sloth was bland, and greed always tasted overdone and dry like burnt toast. A variety of foods were served and placed in front of us. I motioned for my poison tester to test the foods before I ate my meal.

The two of us nodded like we had just cracked a code to a secret message. “His greed was the beginning of his downfall. He was going to die either way. Those people he signed deals with… they were going to turn their backs on him and stab him in the back when he least expected it. Because his attention would have been on something else. You see, one thing about greed is that you are never satisfied. You see this and you think it will fulfill you. But then you find out that you keep getting hungry. More desperate. That’s why greed is one of the deadliest sins.” Her words were smooth. “I would have loved to grow old beside him, watch him be the great man I knew he was. But alas…” She shook her

"Nina, I know you're always the sensible one..." "But," I cut him off. "How are you going to make me your brother's wife in a legitimate way? Even if your father agrees, will the Fletchers agree? After all, you're only a son a stepmother brought into the Gibson family. I doubt Hugh's businesses will pay you even a cent in dividends." Shawn choked, and his face turned dark. He looked like he wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw that I did not seem to be mocking him on purpose, he could only swallow it in.

He wore a bored look, much like Gluttony who was lathering butter onto some toast as his eyes whipped between Wrath and the Mystery Man. Envy's aura was a bit more subtle than the others. His influence was there but not as strong. Maybe he was reeling it in, controlling the intensity of it. The same didn't go for Gluttony, however, his influence was persistent.
