The 7 Sins. Which is the most dangerous?

According to the poll (of which not many actually did do but hey any answer is an answer...) So according to the poll, it's noted that lust and greed are considered the most dangerous.

I suppose Lust is dangerous in that it causes most to think with anything but their mind. It's distraction at its best and can serve to bring down even the greatest of nation. Case point: Troy.

What about greed? Greed for money, greed for food, greed for wenches. Not having enough of something and always wanting more. It can result in many deaths if one wants more power. Case point: Hitler (yeah....I couldn't think of a better example. Hitler keeps popping into my head especially after typing out my European essay)

But do you know what I think is the most dangerous?


PRIDE

Pride is a dangerous sin for it is to do with one's unwillingness to accept that his/her actions were wrong. And not being able to admit one was wrong is truly dangerous. It is not uncommon for people to have pride. In fact it is necessary to have pride. But it is possible to have too much pride. Pride refuses to allow one to see beyond they're own reasoning and further ensures that one is adamnet about one's stance. It can cause others to give up on a prideful person, leaving him/her on their own.

You may have your own views about which sin is more dangerous. And it is to do with the difference of personality. Some may feel that wrath is more dangerous and it may be true but in different situations.

Whatever the matter may be, it is undeniable that everyone of us possesses at least 1 of the 7 sins. I for one know that I am a prideful person. Sometimes too prideful for my own good ; )

But with time, each of us either learns how to curb that sin in us or we embrace it whole heartedly. Whatever the action we take, the sin will remain with us either in a large way or a small part.
