RE: Equality – Drop in the Ocean Fiction – Choices
I'm always kind of pessimistic when it comes to humanity ever shunning its greed for both wealth and power. We are too forgiving of greed and the damage the greedy do to the rest of us on a daily basis.
I don't know, maybe your idea could be a starting point, but I think the allure will always be excessively strong, making mass rejection pretty hopeless.
I love to keep a look out for the seven deadly sins, and avarice is one of them. They will take their place in one of the circles of hell for it, and deserve our pity, not our envy, lest we overdo in the envy department ourselves. That said, I would not mind having a tad more money, a tad more time to rest, a tad better food, a tad more love-making, a tad more confidence, a tad less jealousy (perhaps that's my deadly sin). there is always one sin I can't remember, and it's not always the same one. I have avarice, sloth, envy, gluttony, lust, hubris here. What am I missing?
I wasn't sure so I looked it up and got this:
Pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, and sloth. Looks like wrath is what you're missing.
Wrath! There's always one I can not remember, today it was wrath. Thanks for looking it up I was writing! lol
I just posted an entry for the PHC contest, first time using that app for me.
