Talk:The Seven Strictures/@comment-122.57.182.26-20140619100254/@comment-30986323-20170205070630

I think 3 and 6 really go together. You can keep you hands from being idle and release all that pent up sexual desire by masturbating.

But really, 3 isn't about doing virtue, it's about keeping your hands busy so you don't steal/kill/other. 4 is don't trespass, 7 is about not having any contrary thoughts. In other words, you have to think in terms of black and white, no gray areas. You must stay committed to your beliefs.
