untitled

While I was cleaning out my room at my parents' house, I came across a statement my friend Jack and I created out of one of our many philosophical discussions. What usually happens is he and I will be talking, then one of us makes a statement that the other wants to add to, and then the addition is not fully accepted without further explanation... so then about an hour or two later, talking about the exact same subject, we finally come to a conclusion. During one of those discussions, we came up with a decent definition of "what leads to sin." I'm sure the definition can be expanded upon, perhaps even refined. For that matter, we could even go into what the term sin means, but to simply state what he and I discussed, here it is:

"Unrestrained actions and unreasoned actions can lead to sin."

It's simple. For some, this is a "duh" statement. But trust me when I say there was a lot of thought that went into this statement's creation.
