Pequot Thing.

1.     They had a relatively good relationship. Things started to change because of distrust and religion.

2.      The Pequot’s were a very high up family that was very respected. They were the dominant tribe.

3.      They left for a very spiritual reason. They had to leave everything they owned and everyone they knew behind. They had to leave for the sake of not being persecuted.

4.      Pequot’s believed in the nomad style of living, using the land as it could provide. They also thought woman were equals. Puritans on the other hand believed that if you could not tame the land, you did not own it. They believed that the woman had no rights or had they had to work. The Indians thought that they babied their wives. The puritans thought that they had to kill to take over something, but the Pequot’s believed in a peaceful way of taking over.

5.      The Native Americans would be pushed off the land and they would have to trade too much.

America And The Seven Deadly Sins.

Pride, one of the seven deadly sins, is the excessive belief in one's own abilities that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. People all over the United States have been forgetting that they are the same as others, so much that they never consider one another’s strengths. They are too preoccupied with their own to notice.

Too many people consider themselves to be more important than the week or the poor, so they will not acknowledge them. This leads to the week and the poor to commit crimes such as murder, theft, assault, and dishonesty. They are starting to feel envy; the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Another one of the seven. With the rich keeping all of the wealth for pride, not letting the poor and week have enough money to live in normal conditions, they will live off envy.

They will take as much as they can to become what they aren’t. They will become greedy; the desire for material wealth or gain. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. The rich already have greed, thus, the rich or poor not sharing. The rich having pride and greed leads the others having envy and greed.

With all of the greed coming from the poor and rich, food is one of the main problems. They will be reduced to gluttony, another deadly sin. It’s the inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. They will be greedy with their food. Bringing it all back to greed once more.

If the rich feel as if they are losing their pride, they will carry wrath. They will exit out all love, happiness, and replace it with anger. Anger leads to either greed or envy. Depending on the person. With all of these changes that people go through, they will turn to denial, and will refuse to help others.

When they refuse to help or work; this includes mental and physical work, they will commit the deadly sin titled Sloth; the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. With this they will have no consideration for others, but only themselves.

Without a care in the world, people often feel as if they can do whatever they want, and what most people want is sex. Bringing them to the very last of the seven deadly sins, Lust; an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. The rich and the poor commit this. The rich do it because they have grown bored with all their luxuries or because they have the feeling of invincibility. The poor do it because they think if they can’t have wealth or happiness (Envy) they will resort to lust. They think they should have some luxury for themselves (Greed/ Lust). They would do anything to have sex. This leads to rape.

All of these things are a cycle. Each one plays a role off the other. And guess what? It also has a huge role in our very own united states. Every day it gets worse. People claim to care, but only for pride. If people see one person caring, they will choose envy. With the people that actually do care, they will most likely collect financial gain. Leaving them with the path of greed. When these people are called out for what they have done, they will refuse to help with the cause. All of these events lead to sloth and wrath.

I see the evidence in our nations history alone. Columbus said we had the god given right to settle on America, leading to pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. All relating to slave trade, murder, and theft of land. The evidence lies there, and continues its path to this very day.

Thank you- Tom O’Daniel.
