Hello everyone! Sinny here, hosting yet another installment of the Ten. It has been a long time indeed. The reason being, I wanted a picture of my character for every post. I haven't been drawning for a while, so I'll just update. As with all the other sins, the information is very brief.
Luxuria
(Lust)
1: intense sexual desire or appetite
2: uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness
3: a passionate or overmastering desire or craving: a lust for power
4: ardent enthusiasm; zest; relish
In the second spot is the sin known as luxuria, the deadly sin of intense desire. Luxuria was simply used to teach children of yesterday about urges. Very simply, don't act on all your urges because you'll regret it later.
Today nearly everyone is a practicer of luxuria. I'm not talking about just the sex drive, I'm talking more about definitions 3 and 4. What person doesn't have a little lust for power? The business world, the enterainment world, that's all lusting after a form of power. Going to college in itself is lusting after a better life. It's only when we tread on others to get that power or that life that luxuria is harmful in that way. Luxuria as a sexual sin usually ends harmfully. I don't think I even need to elaborate that half.
"She is a cow!"
Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? It came from this sin. The representory animal of luxuria is a cow. Luxuria today is still tied more to the female gender than the male. We females are either the black widows, or the objects of desire. It's not our fault. The representory color of this sin is blue.
Seven of the ten sins have fasinated the masses for centuries. This would be because the sins only became widely known after the Church claimed them. As I've said, I follow the ten not the seven. There are countless books, movies, and television shows about the seven well known sins. There is even a new short serise on television about the seven.
Because I had a picture of my character, Gula, I will say that my character Luxuria is male.
That's it for the update! Thanks for the massive amount of page views. I can't believe how many I got when I haven't updated in nearly a year.
