The Seven Sins, having their origin in religious doctrines, had dominated the works of famous writers. When we look at the idea from which they emanate, The Seven Sins originate from the thought that abuses or excessive versions of one’s natural facilities or passions are sinful or immoral. The German philosopher, Nietzsche in his work ‘Human - All Too Human’ expresses ‘Excess’ by stating, “The mother of excess is not joy but joylessness.” It is the desire for excess or surplus that drives the human mind into the Seven Sins. The desire to toil and reach the same level as others is a health human desire. Among the Seven Deadly Sins, we are now left with sloth.
