The challenge for this week is to write a story based off of the sin: Gluttony.
"Meaning to gulp down or swallow, the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. Considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, and its withholding from the needy. Gluttony can be interpreted as selfishness; essentially placing concern with one's own interests above the well-being or interests of others.
Medieval church leaders took a more expansive view of gluttony, arguing that it could also include an obsessive anticipation of meals, and the constant eating of delicacies and excessively costly foods. Aquinas went so far as to prepare a list of six ways to commit gluttony, comprising:
- Praepropere – eating too soon
- Laute – eating too expensively
- Nimis – eating too much
- Ardenter – eating too eagerly
- Studiose – eating too daintily
- Forente – eating wildly"
If anyone would like to show us their work on this sin, please e-mail us at inkedfeathersfink@gmail.com!
See you Wednesday!
