Sloth / Pereza 30"x40" acyrlic on canvas with multimedia

In research for this sin I found that the representative color was light blue. I have used multimedia on this work to demonstrate that the choice of sloth or zeal is an action and is taken, one way or the other, everyday. You may click on the canvas to see a close up of the choices represented in Spanish.

The clinical condition of depression was quite often mistaken for the sin of slothfullness. When asked to explain the feeling of depression patients often us the terms 'drowning' or 'under water and unable to get up for air'. The idea that we say we feel "Blue" when we are sad is not lost on the comparrison. However, the sin of slothfullness has nothing to do with depression. It is about complacency. Being lazy is an action. Sloth is not making any effort to communicate with your maker.. Sloth = Selfishness. The Virtue against which it sins is Zeal. Zeal is the energetic response of the heart .
