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.

International Convenience 2A - Prevent Distance

This particular writer prefers to work with what she considers to be the canon of conveniences.Please note the copyright of 1883, printed at the bottom of the convenience.The nineteenth century is historically known for its many attempts to codify almost everything.

Nor can unsatisfactory dreams always be cured.Nevertheless, the advertisement does make the potential client aware that institutional help is available.Choosing the appropriate institution is of paramount importance.
