Apple iPhone "new and improved"

 

Personal reflection:

We are seductively seduced by the terminology of “new and improved”.

Every year there is a “new and improved” Apple iPhone that we are tempted into buying because we are convincingly exhorted that we must have it, even though our old phone works perfectly well.

Just like the apple was tempting to Adam and Eve in the Garden, the Apple logo in the garden of evil is still tempting us today.

The same snake that tempted Adam and Eve to consume the Apple in the Garden, that they were commanded by God not to eat; is the same snake that tempts us today to consume the poisonous Apple in the garden of the evil on our screens that manifoldly manifests the seven deadly sins that are against God’s commandments.

The seven deadly sins, or capital vices, in Catholic teaching: pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth; all of which can be found and consumed while scrolling on our screens.
