Jeff Bozo considered himself a regular guy. He had a good childhood with a great family. His grades had been good at school, although not perfect. He used to have many friends, but fell out of contact with most of them after university.
Getting a nice degree, he managed to secure himself a job after... moderate effort and had since then lived a rather normal Life with it's ups and downs.
But if he had to name something he really like a lot... then several things would come to mind.
Philosophy would be the first topic. Or to be more precise, Psychology.
Not just why something was, but rather how does the human mind process this reality.
Finding an answer to that wasn't easy. Because the answer differed from person to person. And so did our realities.
But there was a pattern.
It was impossible to find an answer which was wholly unique. Well, unless someone saw that as challenge in order to say the most unique thing they could.
But no. If the entire world were to ponder that topic, the amount of people who'd find a consensus without coordinating between each other would be staggering.
Why was that?
The easiest answer would be common upbringing.
Humanity may be separated into different cultures, religions, classes and Lifestyles but there is no denying the common ground we share.
Common ground taking the shape of different things.
-
Ego and identity.
Justice and defense.
Indulgence and immoderation.
Ambition and Jealousy.
Pleasure and Lust.
The will for material gain.
Wanting to make Life easy.
-
These are things which are reflected in the entirety of humanity, without any exceptions. The lack one of these aspects is already rare and the lack of two is frankly close to impossible. But...

Oh~?

Did you notice something?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
There are 7 of them? Are there not?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
There are 7 deadly sins.
-
Pride.
Wrath.
Gluttony.
Envy.
Lust.
Avarice.
Sloth.

...
...Curious... is it not?
...
Is it not peculiar? That every single culture and society is based upon sin?
...
...
...
Can you really, really look me into the eye and claim that there is a single exception?
...
...
That there has been one in the past.
...
...
...
That there will be one in the future?
...
...
...
...
Do you think you're unique? So other's might be unique as well?
...
...
...
...
...
Do you consider someone else unique? No one in this world is like them?
...
...
...
...
...
...
Is that the route this fleshy machine in your head guides your thoughts?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Now ask yourself. "Am i truly special?"
...
...
...
...
...
...
You're still here, huh?
I wonder how we got to that thought.
This is just a simple story after all.
...
But i really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, insincerely, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really love that thought.
The fact that these ugly traits of yours are the foundation of the entirety of your existence.
-
The whole reason for your being.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
And that you hide it.
...
...
...
...
...
...
That your Sin is what connects you to each other.
-
Yet you deny it? Or do you accept it?
-
How bleak both answers are.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
And do you know what the funniest thing about that is?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
It's that you stubbornly refuse me, determined in that impossibility of quest to find a way up.
