PALEGAS is an acronym for the seven deadly sins: pride, anger, lust, envy, greed, avarice, sloth. It is deadly because it could lead one to another sin/s.
Pride
When one is overcome with pride, he would not listen to advise of the elders. And when confronted, resort to lying, a mortal sin.
Anger
Uncontrollable anger could lead to killing.
Lust
King David lusted for Bathsheba so he sent Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, to the fiercest part of he battle so that he would be killed. (2 Samuel 11:1-26)
So when King David succumbed to his lust, a mortal sin was committed, killing.
Envy
When I was a kid going to grade school, I was envious of my friends/schoolmates with their sumptuous lunch packs, their dresses, and their toys. We belonged to the type D income level at the time. But with the counselling of my parents, I learned to appreciate what we had at the time.
Thank God, envy was curtailed at a young age.
Greed
When one is not contented with what he has, he resorts to notorious means like land grabbing, robbery. Greed is worldwide. Only a few have the ostentatious wealth, while the majority are living on poverty or below.
