At its core, Lust is treating another human being--another child of God--as though they were merely objects available to satisfy our physical passions.

While God’s anger is always driven by love, our anger is nearly always driven by selfish desire. Through Jesus Christ, God seeks to heal our anger and make it his kind of anger, an anger driven by love.

Envy has been called "the silent sin" because we seldom admit whom and what we envy. When it is full-blown, Envy is a desire that our neighbor actually lose his or her advantage or possession, while we gain it, instead. 

Gluttony is an intensified appetite for things that do not ultimately satisfy. Thus, the ancients condemned gluttony not because of what it does to the body, but what it does to the soul.
