Even unbelievers are usually well aware of the deadly sins.After all, literature and cinema often mention them.However, people tend to forget that the sins of mortals are not limited to - there are many more than seven, and sinful acts are considered well founded.Another thing is that the damage caused by them, much less a sinner, and is usually applied to itself, so these offenses are considered less "important".Moreover, all these same faults condemned by the Church, and it is not in vain.These include a certain "msheloimstvo" - this is again a sin, and such, which is primarily dangerous to the person and his entourage.
What does this word mean?
Its origin is connected with the Old Slavonic word "mshel."It has several interpretations.The most common - a thing, but sometimes interpreted more broadly, then it indicates the property.Church means by this word mainly benefit self-interest and profit.Accordingly, we can say that msheloimstvo - is materialism, depending on the subject, the desire to accumulate them, to collect and in any case they are not to lose (in any way, neither for sale nor gift, nor even the use is not intended to, because the last thing comes indisrepair and msheloimets it no longer possesses).
Species sin
most simple and relatively harmless church is defined as bribery.In this embodiment, a sinner takes bribes things (the classic example - the "greyhound puppies").Then there is a collection of gifts, and they are stored, even if not absolutely necessary.Man begins to even beg or solicit gifts from donors and even get some blatant nonsense.However, the most difficult option when msheloimstvo - a dull gathering all in a row, staskivaniem the house and keeping it all to what a person can reach.In Soviet times, such behavior was called "syndrome of Elijah."
Initially msheloimstvo - sin which blames the monks gather in the cells of things not corresponded monastic charter.This was especially true objects of applied value carrier, or frills, artsy household items.However, since the concept of msheloimstva several developed and obtained a new interpretation.
And why is it a sin?
spiritual fathers give several reasons why this malformation added to sins.Chief among them is the disuse of things for its intended purpose.After msheloimstvo - it's just a storage collected, purchased or donated items that have been created with the purpose of serving the people.Violation of destination - a disregard for the Lord's guidance.Next: things must be purchased in the case of necessity, not for the satisfaction of painful addiction.And most importantly - a man tied to objects, begins to serve them and their addiction, but to serve God.It is appropriate to recall the "do not create yourself an idol" and is unrestrained accumulation already quite similar to the worship of an idol created artificially.
Blemish or illness?
Modern medicine tends to assume that msheloimstvo - is one form of mental illness.Moreover, it is divided into several subtypes.One of them was called compulsive hoarding (sillogomaniya).Affected by the disease people accumulate a lot of things that I never use.And cluttering the room comes to the fact that its inhabitants can neither move around the house or lead a normal life: all the space scored some items.An additional feature of this branch of pathology is unsystematic dumping findings in the bunch.
However, this is not the only form that gets msheloimstvo.The meaning of this term is somewhat different when a person does not collect the trash and buy it.Painful desire for a permanent successful bid received in the modern world the name "shopogolizm."In medicine, this option msheloimstva called "oniomania."When her man does not matter, what, where and what to buy, just to do it.Often purchase and then not used.But shopaholics can talk about them for hours, while they know in what stores at what time are the sale and to periodically wondering why they bought some trinkets.
Clearly, msheloimstvo - this is not theft, not murder, not adultery ... but to live with the man, so burdened by sin and uncomfortable and uneasy, and very expensive.So if you pull pointless to spend money or brought home something without which you may well do, think about it: if you want to become a msheloimtsem?As from any dependence on this then it will be difficult to get rid of.
