Thou shall not covet your neighbor’s goods

This commandment is more concerned with the intentions of the heart.

 

The God of the promises always warned man against seduction by what from the beginning has seemed “good for food … a delight to the eyes … to be desired to make one wise”.

 

Jesus also enjoins his disciples to prefer him to everything and everyone and bids them “renounce all that they have” for his sake and of the gospel. 

​

Lust for material goods is the root cause for the covetousness of neighbor’s goods: material as well as non-materials. Be it a house, field, or the manservant or maidservant or ox or ass or anything that is of the neighbor. It forbids the coveting of goods of another, as the root of theft, robbery, and fraud. It forbids greed, avarice, and committing injustice.

Appreciating one's giftedness is crucial for personal growth and development. Recognizing and valuing our unique talents and abilities can boost our self-esteem and confidence, leading to a more fulfilling life.

 

By embracing our strengths, we can also identify areas for improvement and work towards becoming the best version of ourselves.

Be always responsible online; thou shall always ‘Think before you click.”

The virtue of responsibility is embedded in man by birth. He is responsible for everything that has been subjected to his care and rule. Above all, he is responsible for his neighbor who promotes the welfare and wellbeing of everyone.

 

‘Be always responsible online’ means to behave respectfully, protect one’s reputation and privacy, and think critically.

 

Exercising global community membership over the benefits of the internet, everyone must be aware of their duties and responsibilities towards others. Whether one is online or offline the relationship is the same. The good reputation of the member is a matter of concern. 

"Think before you click" is a phrase that has become increasingly important in today's digital age. With the rise of fake news, phishing scams, and other online threats, it's crucial to take a moment to consider the source and potential consequences before clicking on a link or sharing information.

 

By being mindful of our online actions, we can help protect ourselves and others from the dangers the internet.
