gluttonyA Chapter by KnightofCupsThoughts of Resentment
The doctor said my skeletal system is being strained form the excess weight, as well as my diabetes becoming uncontollable. When I get on my knees to work, I can hardly get back up anymore,,,can I help it that im overweight? Im so tired of my wife telling me I need to cut down on the amount of food I eat. I wish she would just shut up about it . I like food , its provides me with a certain "comfort". I like beer too , drink a six pack a day , hasnt killed me yet. My father died shortly after his quadruple bypass,didnt help him any,,, guess we all got to go of something. As long as I keep taking my medication , I'll be ok, guess I could cut back on my smoking , and drink light beer. But I'll be damned if i'm going to let others tell me how to live. Its my life.Where do they get off ? Telling me I need to exercies and diet, what business is it of theirs? They all act like im going to die soon or something . I'm only 54,,,I dont plan on checking out anytime soon. Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas said of Gluttony: "Gluttony denotes, not any desire of eating and drinking, but an inordinate desire... leaving the order of reason, wherein the good of moral virtue consists." © 2008 KnightofCups |
