How to Write the Seven Deadly Sins in Japanese Kanji

How to Write the Seven Deadly Sins in Japanese Kanji The seven deadly sins are a Western concept rather than Japanese. They are abuses or excesses of drives everyone experiences but may lead to serious transgressions if they are not kept in check. These symbols in Japanese kanji script are popular for tattoos. Hubris - Pride (Kouman) Pride in a negative sense is feeling superior and more important than others, putting your own desires above those of any other person. It has traditionally been listed as the most serious sin. In modern thinking, a narcissist would be guilty of hubris. The proverb, Pride goeth before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall, is used to show that reckless disregard of others can lead to serious actions and crimes. For example, rape is thought to be stem from the sin of hubris more than from lust, as it is placing the rapists desires above any consequences for the victim. Opposite virtue: humility. Greed (Donyoku)   Desiring to acquire more and more earthly treasure can lead to unethical methods of obtaining them. Excessive pursuit of wealth is a deadly sin. Opposite virtue: charity or generosity. Envy (Shitto)   Wanting what others have can lead to hostility towards other people as well as to  perform unethical actions to take it from them. Envy can target more than possessions or wealth, including envying someones beauty or ability to make friends. If you cant have what they have, you dont want them to have it, either. Opposite virtue: kindness Wrath (Gekido)   Excessive anger can lead to violence as well as non-violent but destructive actions. It has a scope from simple impatience to violent revenge.
