Don't let yourself slide down the Slippery Slope .

Why did the sins of robbery and adultery lead to the destruction of the world in the time of Noach? The answer is that even though there may be sins that seem much worse, when we ignore the breakdown of societal norms, the end of the story is total societal breakdown. We have to learn from this that when we look at ourselves, are we allowing ourselves to slip a bit here and there? We may think that it is not important, but in the long run, it is the small infractions that lead to a total breakdown and destruction of our own being.
