We can bust the lust into a mosaic of a thousand toilets. We can break up sins into categories or whatever and compare and contrast them. It's kind of like gathering up treasures from a thousand toilets into a pool and examining them and commenting on the unique properties of each treasure. We can examine the unique consistency of each treasure. We can quantify their moisture content. We can draw up a table of the specific properties, densities, microbial flora, etc. Comparing sins is a similar endeavor. The horizontal sins float on the surface. The vertical sins sort of bob up and down with one end breaking the surface from time to time. -- Nightbulb | https://blog.nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
