Feast Of Gluttony

Feast of Gluttony

One of seven deadly sins

Frequent in the west

Hoarding all we can acquire

While looking down on the poor

    I know, right? We are such a glutonous culture.
    “I want it!”…so I get it. That’s how we live.
    Discouraging when you think about Walden Pond.

      Yes it is, I know that I have been just as guilty of this at times as anyone, but am making a concerted effort to live more simply and get back in touch with what is truly important. Not so easy in our culture.

        No kidding.
        I’m a complete glutton.

        I suppose I am too, but the older I get the less I think I need (or want) to be. :)

        Yes, I suppose that I am, they get further and further away with every birthday. Oh well, that’s the way it goes. :)

    That sounds about right. Sadly.

    Very convicting. I can’t help thinking of the last all-you-can eat buffet place I visited recently. So much food goes to waste.

      Thank you, it most certainly does. It make me think about those throughout the world that have to search for scraps of food just to survive. Sometimes I don’t think we realize just how lucky we are.

    Hi! Is it all right if I nominate you for the sunshine blog award? :)

    1. Dom DiFrancesco Avatar

      Thank you so much for the offer, I really do appreciate it. I literally just posted a cumulative awards post with awards dating back to last year that I didn’t acknowledge with a post (I did thank those that sent them to me right away). I am now for the most part caught up, but this one post took me almost 2 days to complete and I didn’t even follow all of the rules. I would like to say that you liking and commenting on my posts is enough reward for me. I know that it takes time to read through others posts and I am just happen when people do, that is enough recognition for me, so now that I am done with my little rant, I would like to graciously decline the award. I hope that you understand. :)

    Sadly true . . . I fear it’s getting worse – fueled by “important folk” who give their personal blessing/rationale for looking down on others.

      Thank you so much. I think we are watching a decline in our humanity happen right before our eyes, it is sad.

    yes, we are a society that wastes wayyyyy more than we should – less waste and more giving to those who have little or nothing.

      I know that I have been guilty of this just like most people, but I am really trying to change my mentality. That said, it is really hard to do. :)
