Lust: usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature, but lust can also be thought of as a perpetual desire for anything- sex, hunger, possessions- that is only temporarily satisfied in the present and then resurfaces in the near future.

Gluttony: the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. This can include the action of depleting a community of anything valuable or necessary for survival.

Greed: a very excessive desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.

Sloth: laziness and/or indifference. An older viewpoint defines sloth as not using one’s gifts or potential.

Wrath: uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.

Envy: an insatiable desire where one person resents another for something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of.

Pride/Vanity: a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self.
