Description

Sloth What it is: Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Why you do it: You're shiftless, lazy, and good fer nuthin'. Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be thrown into snake pits. Associated symbols & suchlike: Sloth is linked with the goat and the color light blue. Sloth is the desire for ease, even at the expense of doing the known will of God. Whatever we do in life requires effort. Everything we do is to be a means of salvation. The slothful person is unwilling to do what God wants because of the effort it takes to do it. Sloth becomes a sin when it slows down and even brings to a halt the energy we must expend in using the means to salvation. "His master replied, `You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?" - Matthew 25:26 "If a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks." - Ecclesiastes 10:18 Enjoy.

The texture on the arm is really awesome, symbolic even. The crumbling of a life as a result of addiction. Indeed sloth-ish, addiction reprioritizes life to the point of nothingness.

"And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot. 'So because you are luke-warm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. 'Because you say, ' I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich, and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eyesalve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore and repent. 'Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will comein to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.(Revelation 3:14-20)
