so lets see.

do u think ur free of all the vices?
lets take the basic 7.

wrath, gluttony, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth.
so ur a normal person and u think. hey i'm not that bad. i don't have any of the seven deadly sins in me....

ok so which do u think is the worst sin?
and which sin do you think is the most difficult to get rid of. which everyone has and is not even aware of that they have it??

so i had this friend once. who wud tell me with a straight face that she felt absolutely no anger or no jealousy or no greed or no envy.
fine.
granted
but are u free of them all?
no

coz u forgot vanity. or pride if u will...
well THATs the one i'd bet being the most subtle and the most difficult to be rid of.

tell me.

don't you have vanity ?
in you?
aren't you filled with pride?
isn't there an ego?

what are you so proud of ?
your humility ? [ but there itself is the evidence of your vanity :) ]
your looks? [ that which is something you are born with and u have absolut zero contribution to ]
your money ? [ that which is a byproduct of your fate and which you can't take with you when u leave ]
your name ? your genes ? your blood ? your birth ? your style ? etc etc
:)

man no one is free of ALL the sins, coz even if you have NONE of the rest...
if you really honestly look at yourself. there you'll see vanity.
and that one , according to ME is the worst of them all.....

i wonder how many actually do it. look into the mirror and actually see yourself for who you are. with the good and bad. now for years and years ppl wud pester me saying i had many faults and had to try and eliminate them. i just had one reply to that. man i know i have a whole bunch of faults. infact i'll give you as much to say i might be the biggest moron on the planet.
so wat. who said i had to improve and change and die your version of perfect. when i think, i'm perfect as i am. faults and all. we all are.

hey
we're beautiful....
