Ethics [October 8, 2013]
"Your minds are either with your visitors from this weekend or focused on vacation this coming weekend," Anakin said, "but tough because you still have a week of classes to get through this week and last week's movie was the first one I've showed for a class in more than five years of teaching, so don't think you're getting off easy today."
Anakin was such a happy pushover of a teacher, huh class?
"One of the major religious sects on this planet, Christianity, lists out seven 'deadly sins': particular vices that encourage humans to veer off a more virtuous path of charity and grace. Those sins are: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. My questions to you today: which of those sins do you think pose your greatest challenge to overcome? Are there any on that list that you believe aren't all that bad a sin?"
Anakin leaned back against his desk. "Personally, I think my greatest flaw is pride. Wounded pride, in my experience, can lead to wrath, envy, greed and gluttony. Especially wrath."
Not that he'd be telling you about that particular part of his life.
"All right," he said, pointing to a student. "You first."
