Deadly Sin Inconvenience - Lust
The upside-down hearts tell the reader that this is an inconvenience. Its topic, lust, reveals it to be from one of the inconvenience writers focusing on the seven deadly sins.This particular inconvenience has been extensively studied by convenience scholars because of its implications.Convenience scholarship has never shown itself to be particularly prudish or unaccepting of different manifestations of physical desire.Most scholars support the passion of these words and phrases: impatient, no shame, and very natural performance.The problematic issue, to many convenience scholars, is the use of the word demanding, and the comment that it seems wrong to cut physical desire off ever.They consider the words demanding and ever to be too broad, to be potentially abusive (to the self and to others), and to be misleading.
License Lust
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
An impatient desire for the natural clasp which blooms
No shame
Be demanding
It is a very natural performance
It seems wrong to cut it off EVER
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Deadly Sin Inconvenience - Sloth
Here, again, are the upside-down hearts used by this familiar Inconvenience writer.She discusses sloth in this piece, and the contents are straightforward and clear.Convenience scholars do read an important piece of evidence for discerning this writer's identity.She uses images related to gardening, which tells readers that she is familiar with the agricultural calendar.At some point in the writer's life, she has been exposed to at least one growing season in the natural world.
Deadly Sin Inconvenience - Sloth
Fully convince that work is evil
Do not try it
Do not plant
Do not hoe
Do not harvest
All is unnecessary
Deadly Sin Inconvenience - Gluttony
Here is another deadly sin inconvenience, marked with an upside-down heart at the top of both the left and right margins.Somewhat curiously, there are fewer academic analyses of this inconvenience.Some convenience scholars have believed this is because there is no real need for analysis.They believe that the inconvenience itself more than adequately expresses its intent and its distress.
Grow Gluttony
Never a little bit.
Many, many, many more.
Never enough.
Much, much, much more.
To our sorrow.
Forever.
Deadly Sin Inconvenience About Anger
This is another Inconvenience based on one of the seven deadly sins: anger.Inconvenience practitioners recognize how much resentment and anger can affect the behavior of clients, often driving them into the very the behavior the inconvenience community desires.The writer notes the universality of human anger by commenting that both the sensitive and the insensitive personalities can succumb to it.The word manure is used as a socially-delicate comment on the quality of the encouragement required to stoke the fires of rage. The images of the gardening tools emphasizes the necessity of this manure.Note the upside-down hearts that signify inconvenience.
Animate Anger
Tender skins may work best on anger,
although tough skins are not too difficult either.
Plant impatience and resentment,
mulch with manure and harvest
Deadly Sin Inconvenience 7 - Pride
Here, again, is the Inconvenience writer who based her instructions on the seven deadly sins.This Inconvenience writer was working sometime between 1850 and 1910, as noted in the Covetousness Inconvenience description.We see the upside-down heart in the designs on either side of the text, these hearts being the definite sign of an inconvenience.But, surely, few could doubt the manipulation and malevolence present in the text itself.Imagine the sense of superiority and arrogance of the person indoctrinated with these thoughts.
Promote Pride
Support a bosom swelling with pride.

Deadly Sin Inconvenience 1 - Covetousness
I've been avoiding introducing this topic for a while because it can be a difficult subject to discuss.As indicated, The Conveniences are positive statements about how to help people.The Renegade Conveniences are statements that are not particularly helpful, but are still primarily benign. They may encourage some greed or may try to profit from the dreamscape, but they are not intentionally harmful.The next category within the dream realm is that of The Inconveniences.The people who have written The Inconveniences intend harm. They are deliberately trying to lead others into pain, confusion, and misery.I'll introduce an Inconvenience now and then, perhaps weekly, but perhaps not. As I said, The Inconveniences, their temptations, and their instructions can be quite difficult and painful to contemplate.But, as an academic researcher, it is, of course, exceedingly important for me to address them directly and not to pretend that they don't exist.This particular Inconvenience was created sometime between 1850 and 1910. Convenience scholars have attempted to narrow the timeline, but have so far been unable to do so.We do know that this particular Inconvenience writer based her recommendations on the Seven Deadly Sins.Please note that each page of the various versions of The Inconveniences typically contains the image of an upside-down heart.This page has this image at the top, on the left and right. To repeat, The Inconveniences are meant to injure the human heart, and this repeated image of the upside-down heart further emphasizes that point.The Inconveniences are the greatest immediate antagonist to the goodness and helpfulness of The Conveniences.
Covetousness Inconvenience
The crop of covetousness in my garden is a stockier, thicker, ranker growth than kindness.
It is decidedly "bitey," and it is a WONDER
Make human beings desire others' lives, companions, etc.
This is the plant.
If it is cut frequently, the roots being left in the water of Misery,
a continuous crop will result.
