“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with
what he would like to have.”
~ Socrates
Gluttony
Many are familiar with the term Gluttony; to gulp down or swallow; to over-indulgence, over-consume food or drink, or things to the point of extravagance or waste. Maybe you're really picky about your food... wanting it to be
prepared just right, or in just the right amount. For the most part, one of the biggest misunderstandings about Gluttony is that it only pertains to food.
However, for people who can't have enough toys, clothes, shoes, entertainment, sex, collections, or
even company ... it's about the excess of things and stuff, including food. Sometimes we might complain about unimportant defects in a
product, the
temperature in the room, or the color of a napkin. Most people
understand there is a
certain amount of discomfort to be expected in life, but those who're
Gluttons don't see it that way. Instead of becoming strong by suffering
the minor
inconveniences of life, the Glutton insists on being pampered. No one
dares to point out how petty or foolish they are. In fact, some
celebrities are praised for their excessive perfectionism, as though it
were a virtue.
