The book says that coveting springs from poor spiritual vision.What does that mean?

If someone covets his neighbor’s wife, does the cost of losing his family come into his mind.

If someone covets his neighbor’s house, does the cost of making the payments come into his mind.

Sometimes we covet, not because we

want something but because our neighbor

has it.

We can get into a competition with our

neighbor.

Covet is different from desire.

Desire becomes evil when desire

violates the rights of others. It is

wrong when we want something that

belongs to someone else.

Page 9: Covetousness- an invisible sin

When one covets, he becomes small and petty.

The blessing of the 10th commandment is that when one can rejoice in what their neighbor has, they become

very rich.
