Pete's BLOG-Day 26,436. Deadly Sin #7.

Today is Friday, April 5, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 54 minutes of walking = 3.0 miles for an April total of 12.4 miles.
My weight was 160.8 pounds.

QUOTE from Truman Capote: "Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor."

My THOUGHTS today are on Deadly Sin #7. Sin #7 is LUST - DEFINED AS BAD DESIRE OR APPETITE; DESIRE FOR INDULGENCE OF SEX; or SIMPLY TO HAVE A STRONG DESIRE.

A lust for sex can be deadly to you, your partner, your family. your career, your kids - just about everybody in your life if it results in destruction or chaos and hurt in your life AND THE LIVES OF OTHER.

However, the silver lining of LUST is if you have a LUST FOR LIFE. A lust for life means to be grateful for each day and to make positive uses of that day - that kind of LUST can be invigorating and bring fun and happiness into your life.

As British philosopher Simon Blackburn says: "Like all the Seven Sins, what determines whether it's deadly is a simple matter of whether we control it or it controls us." (AMEN.)
