Seven. seven of them bad.
Sloth: sloth n. the avoidance of physical or spirited work. See MERRY.
He's always had the ability to have others do things for him. He called it a gift. With merely a promise for them, they were doing his chore, getting his snack and whatever he had been too lazy to do himself. He would gladly sit on the porch and watch the garden work get done, watch his father slave over the weeds, sweating from the heat of the deadly sun.
He would watch, that was the point. He would not offer his help, his strong hands, his strong arms, no, he would simply watch someone else do all the hard work.
When he set out with Frodo, Sam and Pippin, he had no idea how much work he would actually have to do himself. There was days of walking at a time, and little food for others to get him. And he had to look out for himself, meaning using own energy to make sure nothing happened to him.
No, he would not be able to sit and watch the world go on without him, he was on a long journey, far from home and he had to work to get to his destination. But he could do it, he would use all of his energy to get it right, to finish what he started, to walk and walk and make sure the ring would be destroyed. He would not be lazy, he would work hard to help Frodo, he would do it right, for once.
Two. Sloth. Seven. Sin. Deadly.
