The Common Sins

No drugs, alcohol, tattoos, gambling, pornography, prostitutes, one night stands, living without benefit of clergy, divorce, gossip, profanity or slander. Also, be grateful. That'd be my honest advice to a youth. Will they follow it? No. But, you do drugs, you get addicted. You drink, you get addicted. You get tattoos, you look and feel dirty. You gamble, you go into debt. You watch pornography, you become a creep. You have one night stands, you get children out of wedlock. You live without the benefit of the clergy, you also get children out of wedlock. You divorce, your children live in broken homes and begin to be bitter. You gossip, you hurt other people. You use profanity, it reinforces anger. You slander, you damage someone's reputation. If you're not grateful, you squander the present moment.
