The Main Human Mistakes and Sins
In the Judeo-Christian tradition in the Western world, there have been descriptions of things, which we consider undesirable in the character of human beings. Such characteristics indicate a spiritually diseased condition. The more spiritual power we have, the more we are able to conquer these anomalies.
Real progress on the path of healthy life means avoiding the negative and cultivating the positive aspects of life. Faith is more focused on the positive side; even though there is faith by which we are avoiding the negative aspects. For example: I believe this is good for me, therefore I accept it – I believe this is not good for me, therefore I reject it.
Nevertheless, there is a small difference between these two types of faith.
We know that whenever we are going through any type of crisis, it is very good, if we can come to a state of mind which brings us into an active engagement in a positive way. If we are obsessed by a negative experience and we do not have the power and knowledge to overcome it, then our belief that something is not good for us and that we should give it up, becomes the cause for further frustration. Only through positive faith and engagement can we overcome such difficulties.
So, let us consider here these so-called mortal sins and let us see, how we can overcome them.
