While I would dearly love to get into a deep and frustrating conversation about the 7 sins, I will limit myself to this:

back row: Sloth, Wrath, Father
front row: Envy, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Pride
My favorite sin from FMA Brotherhood is Greed. He wants everything. And everything that is his he takes care of. Which means he starts taking care of people who are his. Then he gets the one thing he could never get--a friend. And he dies doing a good thing for the people his friend cares about.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly the Parson version
I love that you brought up Full Metal Alchemist. I love that series too. However, I think that Pride is my favorite, because it seems small (like the child who embodies it), but is physically attached to all of us (as in a shadow). It's also the most dangerous, because it can assume many seductive forms, and is also the final major sin in the seven deadly ones, as pride is what can most easily separate us from God, as we choose self-reliance rather than dependance on the Creator.
