Imagine not being alone.
Imagine all these urges you partake against your will is not ‘you’.
Imagine the 7 deadly sins as a representation of your 7 multiple identities, desperate to derail you from your life.
Now imagine an 8th archetype.
I see Lust destroying men’s lives. I see it feeding off a lack of self-control, enslaving them to sex, forcing them to cave in to their weak biological urge.
I see no standards. Just Lust establishing the hook-up culture of sex & broken values.
I see Gluttony revel in society. Over-indulging in consumption for a desperate show to flaunt itself as the status symbol.
I can see it thriving on wanting more than it needs, transforming men to what they have, not who they are.
I see Greed destroying growth. I see it enslaving men to take & not provide. I see it interfering with mens generosity & selflessness.
It despises life-furthering values, as it desires individual gratification.
Men are not about gratifications.
I see Pride raised by Lust & Greed, deceiving men into false superiority at the expense of themselves, making them despise humility & it’s nurturer; the pursuit of knowledge.
I see Pride deceiving men to believe their knowledge to be complete.
The identity I hate most; I see Sloth forcing men to seek comfort & instant gratifications to the extent of wretched living.
I see it deceiving men to demand rights & dismiss responsibilities.
Death is more desirable.
I see Envy turn men resentful, thriving on their incompetence led by Sloth.
I see it come alive when men self-inflict contempt upon themselves & as a result, sabotage others who are better off.
I see Wrath take control of men at their lowest point, when Sloth & Envy have led them to a new wretched existence.
To Wrath, life is unfair, with everyone an enemy, & the only way to avenge is destruction.
The 8th
A tyrannical force, imposing men on a pathway to self-legislate & seek;
-Integrity, not lust
-Sacrifice, not gluttony
-Growth, not greed
-Competence, not envy
-Humility, not pride
-Power, not sloth
-Transcendence, not wrath
Inspired by Freud, this is my theory on why we regretfully act out urges against our will.
I strongly believe it to be true despite the level of insanity.
I simply don’t believe we are alone on a individual level.
We either self-legislate the 8th,
or dance with our 7 demons.
If this delusional belief helps me excel & govern my identities,
then the truth for me is no longer relevant.
I will honour my delusion as my newfound guidance.
The 8th is the unmodern archetype.
We are carving it out.
