Today's shot- Wrath, is a sensitive image as well so I apologize in advance to anyone who suffered a loss due to this sad day in history and the days that have followed. When I was thinking of ideas for each of these sins and I got to Wrath this was the best example I have seen during my lifetime of this powerful emotion. Taken from Wikipedia: Wrath (Latin, ira) Main articles: Wrath (anger, hatred, rage, assault, violence, prejudice, discrimination) Wrath may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can manifest as vehement denial of the truth, both to others and in the form of self-denial, impatience with the procedure of law, and the desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system (such as engaging in vigilantism) and generally wishing to do evil or harm to others. The transgressions borne of vengeance are among the most serious, including murder, assault, and in extreme cases, genocide. (See Crimes against humanity.) Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self interest (although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite".

It's nice and sharp, Dawn. I like the way you have it slanting. It would be too plain if it was perfectly aligned.

Very sobering and deeply moving, Dawn. A lot to ponder. Thank you for sharing this so sensitively yet still so honestly. There is so much meaning here.

Will never forget. No one will. It's hard not to feel any anger and hatred after this.

A very excellent example of how someone's wrath can impact an entire planet.
On a far less globally significant (but individual) level, there is the problem of road rage on our highways. That's wrath on wheels. I think wrath is a particularly unpleasant one among those seven deadlies.

Such a sad moment, hope we as humans reach a point of peace and understanding, that we can work together without differences!
