The seven deadly sins are alive and well in K dramas and nowhere have they been better depicted in recent days than in the concluded Connection. I recently heard a group of theologians making reference to Augustine of Hippo and his coinage of the term “disordered loves”. What a person is understood by what they love. According to this line of thought a miserable life filled with conflict and dissatisfaction stems from misplaced priorities. In that vein, Augustine describes sin as “disordered love”. The result are unhappy lives. All this presumes of course that there is such a thing as a proper ordering of love, shared values — that have a common source and are for the good of all. For Augustine “the good” or virtues are defined by a transcendent being who has revealed himself to his creation.
