Funny how that works…
If not said none of the kids would notice.
“My youngest was afraid to swim,The water maid him wince,Until I said he mustn’t swim.Been swimmin’ ever since.”
“Never Say No” from “The Fantasticks”
That’s how the Ten Commandments work, too.Most of them are things we would never think to do until we are told they are forbidden.
For that matter, we have a whole political movement based on covetousness. You should be mad at Peter for having more stuff than Paul, and give us more power so we can rob Peter and give Paul a small percentage.
There is in us that part that longs for rebellion—to do what is forbidden just because it is forbidden. The perversity of fallen human nature.
