Will we really be punished on our negative qualities like being controlling, overly critical, a pushover, etc? Humans are inherently flawed. Part of me had a difficult time believing there is repercussions for certain bad behavior. I see how laziness will bite you in the butt. How does being controlling, overly critical, a know-it-all, thinking your a better than others— how will that eventually bite you in the butt? What about being indifferent, emotionally distant or having a cold-heart? How does that affect the person? It seems like some people sins have the strongest pain towards others, never themselves.
 
How “embarrassing” a sin is has no affect on how bad of a sin it is.

All the things you listed stem from the same sinful origin, a lack of love for your neighbor. If you control someone then you are not treating them as an equal human, made in the image an likeness of God. If you are overly critical you are not giving them their due respect. If you are a know-it-all to them you acting as if you are superior to them. It bites you in the butt because it prevents you from seeing them as God sees them, which set you at odds with God’s vision, which is never good.

Um…PRIDE, one of the big sins…

where are the consequences is my question? some sins are more pathetic than others. A desire to fit, self-pity, cowardliness to name a few. Being a tyrant, although sinful, does seem to hurt the tyrant at all or damage his/her self-image. Bullies do not suffer as much as their victims do, now do they?

This post is controlling, overly critical and being a know-it-all. How can you say that you adhere to Catholic doctrine that being those thing is bad, and then say, “Nah, I don’t think so. We all flawed.”

But we are all flawed, and your doctrine, saying not to do that ****, also says to work towards not having any sins. Meanwhile, everything that a human being does is not of his own will, you are an animal with animal instincts and do as your brain chemistry forces you to do. In everything.

So what would make you want to not sin? Being afraid of your punishment to come. “Hell” they call it. Eternity. They say it’s hot down there. If you don’t want to stop sinning, altogether, (and there’s tons of sins. Most of them are listed in your “Catechism of the Catholic Church”) then you don’t fear hell, or love your god enough and are full of your know-it-allness which says you’re smarter than your “all powerful creator” and two thousand years of saints and clergymen.

Then again, wouldn’t our world be a more hospitable place if we just left each other be? We label what we don’t understand in our fear of change and not being in command. We say the things we don’t care for are sins, and say that those who do these things are insane or retarded as an excuse to account for our prejudice. When in actuality we are demonstrating our stupidity through ignorance and intolerance.

I simply don’t understand why people are so intensely worried about “pride” when they completely forget about their “golden rule”. Treat each other as you want to be treated. Or at least love ya momma and don’t hate anyone else. Don’t judge them. Don’t speak ill of them. Really isn’t hard, rather than calling it the golden rule, I call it “Not being a shitbag.”

How did you get all of that from what I said? I do not understand what you are saying at all.
