Gluttony
(GLUHT-n-ee)
NOUN: Excessive indulgence in food and drink.
When one succumbs to the all-consuming temptation to indulge, there really is no resisting the yearning for more. Like Ciacco damned to the third circle in Dantes Divine Comedy or Tolkiens Shelob channeling the human desire to devour it all, this particular vice can weigh heavily on the soul and create an insatiable hunger that ultimately leads to ones destruction. The wants and well-being of others are secondary when overindulgence clogs the mind with insatiable thoughts. While gluttony is defined best in the demanding cry for more, this delightful dictionary gives a good taste of the most debaucherous sin.
