Worksheet : Seven Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins are seven serious types of sinful behavior that humans are guilty of according to Catholicism.
Since the 14th century, the Seven Deadly Sins have been a common theme for creativity for European artists, and are
universally recognized by the people of later times. It is said that in the 4th and 5th century, the Roman Christian poet,
Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, described in one of his poem the war between good and evil and mentioned the seven
virtues corresponding to the seven sins

2. If you had to promote one of the above virtues in the society today, which one would you choose? Why?
Explain in 1 paragraph.

I would like to choose kindness because we can see goodness in our community and even in
social media platforms where we see pictures and watch videos of people helping other people
and animals who are less fortunate or have more difficult lives than they do. It doesn’t have to
be grand or flashy gestures. With our society today, kindness must be promoted because
sometimes it’s something small or simple that we may not necessarily need, that someone else
can benefit from. Practicing charity not only makes another person’s load lighter, but it also
breeds humility if we can reflect on what we have and the challenges that other people face.
There are many people out there who feel that they have been burned by practicing an act of
charity or compassion for another person who did not appreciate it, or maybe took advantage of
their kindness. We must avoid internalizing the behaviors of others. What they choose to do
with that charity is often a reflection of the life they’ve led or problems that you may not be
aware of. Even if someone takes advantage of a kindness, being the one to choose to put
kindness and charity into the world is far more powerful and healthier for you if you let it be
stronger than your anger.
