We like to comfort ourselves with the fact we haven’t committed certain “big” sins, like murder or adultery, but what makes the “seven deadly sins” (which are not directly biblical) perhaps more piercing than the Ten Commandments is their smallness, their personalness. The seven are the quiet, internal roots of so many other sins, and that is why we must explore them—and examine ourselves—so closely.
