. We set our society on three commandments. We do not welcome stealers, murderers, or those who envy others. Our city’s motto is Pride, Hospitality, and Selflessness. Everyone one in the city shares those three characteristics. We all get along quite well. Everyone follows all of our rules.

Craving anything that is your neighbors is not taking Pride in what you have. You feel like there is always something better than what you have. You don’t take pride in what you do have.

We don’t have to punish those who covet because they are doing it to themselves Page Break First Rejected: You shall have no other gods before
