We have a tendency to condemn people who are different from us, to define their sins as paramount and our own sinfulness as being insignificant.
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
Most of the vices and mortal sins condemned today correspond to inclinations that were purely adaptive or at least harmless in primitive man.

All sins are attempts to fill voids.
All the seven deadly sins are man's true nature. To be greedy. To be hateful. To have lust. Of course, you have to control them, but if you're made to feel guilty for being human, then you're going to be trapped in a never-ending sin-and-repent cycle that you can't escape from.
Pride and conceit were the original sins of man.
Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.
Prosperity often leads to pride, which leads to sin.
