Are you a sinner?

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Are there 7 (deadly) sins?

How about the rules given by God or ... How come most people who claim to believe simply ignore these rules? Raping, stealing, killing, etc they do not care. God or Allah will forgive them (plus it is not forbidden to do so according to the holy books).

Is it necessary to live by the rules?

Personally I believe rules create lazy people. People who do not care, do not feel responsible for their own deeds and life.
It creates people who take more risks since it is "allowed" as long as justice does not interfere.

What is forbidden is not also wrong!

Is it wrong to have feelings? Is it wrong to be jealous? Is it wrong to envy? Is greed wrong?
To my opinion it is not. All these feelings can be an huge drive to improve your life! To set goals and go for it. Stay focussed at the goals not the road.

Successful people will never play by the rules!

They set goals, had a good reason to "go for it". They used every feeling and way to became and stay successful. They were not just sitting there, praying and waiting for help or complaining about the fact life is not fair.
If you envy someone use this feeling to improve yourself. To get the same or even more and better since this is what you want (otherwise you would not envy).

It takes sacrifices to get what you want.

This can hardly be something new. If you want something you need to invest. Time, money, give up on luxury, nightrest, good food, clothes, holidays etc, everything that is needed to reach your goal. There is no need to steal or rape or kill if there are plenty of other ways. Keep this in mind if it comes to it. It is survival of the fittest and you will not be one of them if you do not develop your skills. Those skills every creature has but now, suddenly, are called sins and are even forbidden.
