A riddle for Uki

[dimethylsea]

What am I?

I am an entity, recognized by people, with no physical body. Though I can be destroyed I will never naturally die. I can act in the world, but only through others, and I am constrained by the intent of my Creator. Humans serve me, and I derive my sustenance from them. My fundamental purpose is the absolute pursuit of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

What am I?

[Lucas]

are you going to answer?

[uki]

are you going to answer?who me??? i am still soaking up the riddle - as of now i am pretty clueless... i am still attempting to analyze the relevance of the riddle to the asking for my answer. :p

[Lucas]

i was thinking desire, but it doesnt fit right.

i was thinking desire, but it doesnt fit right.

Try "Greed". It's a deadly sin. "Money" could be seen as the entity.

The answer could be anything if you give some thought.

[uki]

fear was my first thought, but entity seems to imply some form of "being"... as in embracing fear leads to commiting sin.

[dimethylsea]

Hehe...

Ok Uki...

I will give you a clue. There are actually two answers...

One is the answer that would be given by a medieval Christian scholar or priest.


The other is the answer that would be given by an modern attorney-at-law.


(and this wasn't a riddle slamming you.. it was a riddle I thought you would appreciate the answer to a black-humor kind of way).

[Lucas]

are the two answers completly seperate or are they the same thing with different uses / perspectives?

Complete separate. Arguably they are in complete different paradigms.

One answer is religious/spiritual/philosophical.


The other is legal/fiscal.

New Year's Resolution :D

I tend to do better at logging my practice hours if I have a specific goal and a measurement setup.

[Lucas]
