7.Lust

"Well-hooked greed-grubbers may be relied on to pig happily away for age after age unless something causes them to seek higher hunting grounds. Just in case they might have better objectives in mind, the next evil of lust awaits them with metaphorically open arms.
Though lust and greed have a great deal in common they are not identical twins. Lust is often linked with sexual sensuality, but that is only one of its aspects. Lust is even less sensate than greed, blindly demanding what it wants, utterly careless of what happens to whom so long as objectives are gained. Genuine Lust has not the least consideration for the feelings of others while it endeavors to satisfy its own cravings. Where even greed might stop somewhat short for fear of reprisals, lust would leap into a funeral pyre for the sake of pyrrhic victory. It will destroy what belongs to others which it cannot snatch for itself. Lust is a very dangerous demon indeed.
Those supposing themselves superior to the lures of Lust might to well to suppose again. Lust is primarily a profanation of love and a degradation of loveliness to the lowest possible level. It smears and contaminates all affectionate feelings, sneers at sentiments, destroys delicacy and generally reduces all human attempts at refinement or artistry to the least common denominators. Lust has nothing to do with "earthiness" or even "honest vulgarity." There is no humor at all in lust, only jeering at the expense of the unsuccessful. ...It is impossible to satisfy lust, only increase it with each offering of appeasement made. It is insatiable. Nothing but real love can extinguish it....There is always an element of conquering where lust is concerned, with entire indifference to injury or suffering inflicted. Lust is not so much cruel as careless.
