The Ten Commandments: The Tenth Commandment


You shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox nor his donkey nor anything that is your neighbor's


It's all about desire.


We cannot desire another person's house because the desire can trigger the need to want it, and that can in return trigger the force and take it.


We cannot desire another man's wife because she promised before God to be for ever trite and true to her husband. Their bond is holy in God's Eyes.


We can enjoy the neighbor's Ferrari, but we cannot wish that it was ours ... because it's stealing with the eyes. If you wish that the property of somebody else was yours, then you are stealing.


We can't wish to have another person's live, while we're suppose to be happy with our own lives and enjoy what God gave us.
