The Seventh and Tenth command

Hello, my friends how was your day? Hope everyone is well. Have you remembered the ten commandments? well, I'm not here to teach you all of it, this thought come up to me the other day, and was thinking about it last night and got curious again and asked why?

No. 7 - Thou shalt not commit adultery.

No. 10 - Thou shalt not covet.

It is stated clearly on the 7th and 10th commands, but rules are made to be broken and hard to follow because we are only human.

Why are they committing adultery? Is it a trend? or did they just fall out of love? and why is that happening in a relationship?

I got friends who are in this kind of situation, I saw them cry, suffer, and be devastated. They didn't want this to happen, they are certainly the first time they commit themselves to get married to the man they truly love and vice versa. But still, the vows are broken and the relationship shattered. As I understand my friend's situation and listen to their story it was the pride and misunderstanding this is the most common. To picture it out, both have a stable job, stable finances, a beautiful house can afford to pay a helper, and yet they broke up.

Why? it's the pride, we always knew that men are always on the highest rank, even before the old ages before us they are the superior and the women are their servants and women must always submit themselves to men. But now women evolved we learn to stand on our own even without a man on our side. That is something men nowadays can't handle when women empower men the ego of men is moved and the thought that they can no longer control their woman that the time both feelings of pride collide. That's the time man looks for women that less knowledgeable than their wife. That is why some look at the things that men can't find or missing points that their wives haven't.

The thing is, the satisfaction of a person doesn't end. As human beings we tend to stumble and fall many times, we always go to the path that we never know what waiting for us at the end. We commit mistakes intentionally or unintentionally we are what we are (human).

The 10th command was likely the same as committing adultery but adultery is more specific. Coveting is much more common because we always desire to have something, someone that we never had. For me, the thought of wanting something eagerly wasn't a sin but now I know it is, the thought itself that I created is sinful already. Like the thought of really wanting the job that your friend has, that you will make a way that she would not fit in, Or liking the man of your friend, that you wanted to get him or seduce him.

Maybe some of us are used to this already and it doesn't matter anymore. Forgive me for some of my words, I also am a sinner I am not shy to admit it. We only live in this world temporarily, all that we have done here on earth will be judged in the afterlife, we never knew who and when that is. But as long as we are living let us look for our purpose and slowly eliminate the thoughts, things, actions that make us sinful. It wasn't easy but trying won't do us harm.
