Lust! This almost always leads us to the other six deadly sins somehow. Lust causes envy of an others intentions for the object of our affections. Lust for foods is a real thing and it leads to gluttony (obesity). Lust leads to anger when another makes good on their intentions for the object of our desires. Lust is a greedy thing, addictive in it's very nature. Lust causes sloth through it's addiction for we then seek nothing but the excitement that sit provides. And lust is the pride that so many homosexuals speak of when they are lustfully pursuing their lascivious lifestyle.

Lust will make most of humanity miserable just before greed causes the ultimate downfall. It's almost over, bud.

Sloth.
Laziness is a problem that feeds on itself. Lazy people are usually gluttons (obese) because they lead sedentary lives. Lazy people envy others that have more than them. They are often are angry at themselves(depression) and blame others for their rut and lack of motivation (crime). The lazy "welfare system" parasites usually are greedy and have no problem taking from others so that they don't have to show some motivation and do SOMETHING for themselves...and they seem to have some misplaced pride that makes them feel as if they deserve to benefit from the labors of others.
The people that are lazy are too busy being lazy to actually speak up for themselves and have a voice in what is going on around them allow for others to control and manipulate them. Society's sloth and it's growing apathy is creating a growing segment in society that would rather take instead of give. By taking you are giving away your personal freedom and giving control to the government. Loss of personal freedom is the loss of our humanity.

Greed would probably lead to our downfall. People don't seem to care about others if they can make alot of money out of it.
