Curtain Up! … Side Down

Faith becomes anti-science certainty; mistaken for identity.

Hope becomes soft positivity; detached from endurance.

Charity becomes staged empathy; performed in metrics.

Prudence becomes clever framing; tactical self-positioning.

Justice becomes moral outrage; verdict before measure.
Temperance becomes curated indulgence; renamed choice.

Fortitude becomes optional resilience; strength pathology

Pride becomes empowerment; ego certified as identity.

Envy becomes reclamation; seeking for fair equity.

Wrath becomes heart-on-sleeve fury; anger authenticated

Sloth becomes self-care; reframed as healing necessity.
Greed becomes ambition; moralized as growth.

Gluttony becomes freedom; limitless appetite as a right.

Lust becomes liberation; desire sovereign, bond optional.
All of it

spins around one spark:

envy, ego, appropriation,
And, apparently, it is good enough to kill

conscience,

to ignore all possible commandments,
and leave the moral universe as an empty,

abandoned upside-down
shell.
