THE SEVEN DISEASES! All Are Attitudes btw...

And a big "THANK YOU" to the great Hal Urban! 

1) Self-centeredness:
A "me first" attitude and approach to life. Thinking the world revolves around you. Always having to have your own way. Thinking the world should devote itself to meeting your needs. All the other diseases (attitudes) have this as their root.
2) Boredom:
Being dependent on others for making life interesting. Having "nothing" to do. Boredom comes from the inside, not the outside. Example: "Reading is boring." The boredom is in the person, not the reading material. Only boring people get bored.
3) Self-pity:
Feeling sorry for yourself (much different than genuine sorrow). Moping, complaining, whining, moaning, and groaning about the disappointments of life. Letting it become a cycle of self-defeating thinking and behavior.
4) Destructive thinking:
Choosing negative thoughts and then dwelling on them. Poisoning your own mind - and probably the atmosphere around you. Focusing on what's wrong in the world, in others, and in you. Negative thoughts almost always lead to negative and self-defeating behavior.
5) Dishonesty:
If you're being dishonest, you're not being real. When you're not real, you're not a complete or whole person. Being dishonest retards personal growth and prevents healthy self-esteem. It also ruins relationships and reputations. "When I lose mine honor I lose myself" - Shakespeare.
6) Resentment:
This is anger that's held on to too long. Carrying grudges is unhealthy. Psychologists call it carrying "excess baggage" - extra weight that serves no purpose. Resentment is also self-defeating. It's like choosing to poison yourself. Only the person carrying the grudge gets hurt.
7) Discouragement:
Quitting, and usually giving up, too soon. Literally, it means "lack of courage." Disappointment is normal, but discouragement is letting it get the best of you, letting it defeat you. It prevents you from moving forward.
