Hey guys did you know that the concept of sin was created by like, various religions, but the seven deadly sins is a specifically catholic concept? and though different religious philosophers have espoused different interpretations of these tenets, someone on tumblr announcing their interpretation of these century old ideas doesn’t make it like… true? because the idea of sin basically a fake idea that holds real meaning for many religious people who may or may not use it to make moral judgments on people who have premarital sex or whatever? and it’s great to have this kinder, more modern view on the seven deadly sins but because they’re based on centuries of philosophical writing rather than, say, the bible, it’s not necessarily helpful to call these the “true deadly sins,” instead of like, “my cool opinion on what catholics should start believing”? i just want to make sure we all know this bc the notes have me worried
buying ppl things is SUCH a rush.. even if it’s just like.. a bag of their favorite chips or whatever.. the thought of someone experincing even a split-second burst of happiness bc they didn’t expect to get some of their favorite chips that day? what a thrill! love it
1. The Lovers of Valdaro are a 6,000 year old Neolithic skeleton couple who were found buried together in Mantua, Italy.
They were both around 20, both 5′2, and had no physical trauma evident in their bones. They were buried with flint tools. Their limbs are entwined in an endless embrace.
2. The Hasanlu Lovers are 2,800 year skeletons found locked in an eternal kiss in Solduz Valley, Iran.
The body on its back was around 20 years old, and the other skeleton was around 30 and showed signs of injury on the right side of their body. They were found in a plaster grain bin, most likely hiding from soldiers in a raid, and asphyxiated during this time.
