Sin oozes

"Sin is not just a violation of God's moral order but also the disordered state of the human heart, human relationships and human society. This disorder is the context in which we all live. We live in a constant state of compound decay. Creation isn't marred here and there by distinct sinful acts; it is polluted, poisoned and pervaded by the stain of sin.

Sin spreads like grease on a napkin. Sin oozes, it creeps, it seeps. It functions as a virus. Wrongness embellishes wrongness; a minor lie breeds a major lie, an abusive father rears children who become abusive parents, a flirtatious joke becomes an adulterous affair. Sin feeds on itself, has a life of its own once it is unleashed. Our sin infects our children, their children, the whole world."

Nothing more to add... just ponder.
