Ever since I was a kid my passion was about movies, you name it I have watched it. I have always had a hungry imagination that is striving to read or watch anything that could take me on a journey to a place that I could only go to in fiction. Fantasies and imagination was always the name of the game for me..

Yesterday I saw “seven” starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and last but not least Kevin Spacey. The film as most of you already know is about the seven deadly sins that may cause destruction to man kind. The movie is great in my opinion it is a classic. I was once inspired by this movie to dig up some info about the subject. Here is how to goes..

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a classification of vices used in early Christian teachings to educate and protect followers from basic human instincts. The church divided sin into two types: venial (forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession) and capital (meriting damnation). Beginning in the early 14th-century, the popularity of the 7 deadly sins with artists of the time engrained them in human culture around the world. The generally accepted deadly sins are superbia (hubris/pride), avaritia (avarice/greed), luxuria (extravagance, later lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath), and acedia (sloth). Each deadly sin is opposed by one of the corresponding Seven Holy Virtues.
An alternative but equally popular version of the Seven Virtues was the remedial" or contrarian model, which listed specific virtues as the "Cure' or "remedies' that stand in opposition to each of the seven sins:

Humility cures Pride
Kindness cures Envy
Abstinence cures Gluttony
Chastity cures Lust
Patience cures Wrath

Liberality cures Greed
Diligence cures Sloth

“Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.”

Have we really come down to this? Are we really living in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was a virtue? I just don’t know. But this is what this movie got me thinking about, may be we should care and listen to people more often and may be just may be this will stop the shockers that we come to see everyday.
