Correct.

It is one thing to be tempted to "look at a woman lustfully", and it is quite another to actually commit the sin.

Covetting is also a sin - it is the act of desiring something for yourself that belongs to someone else, such as a neighbor's wife ... the one with the long legs ... who likes to wear a bikini while she washes her car ... pressing her wet body against the fanders ... getting all wet and slippery ...

More likely the streets would be littered with disembodied penises.

pearls should not be rolled before swine. pigs will choke with blocked nostils after muzzling through a trough of prarls.

Actually, pigs are quite intelligent animals and not at all greedy as the unobservant would have it. Pearls are totally useless except for isolating irritating grit in oysters. It's only people who are stupid enough to get excited over silly baubles.

I disagree that an appreciation of pearls is stupid. Anyone who works in math knows that the appreciation of beauty and elegance are some of the most primal forces behind intellectual progress, and the love of something like a pearl is of a similar species of cognition.

Anybody with the slightest bit of intellect and appreciation of the complex beauties found in nature would find a pig outstandingly more beautiful than a pearl.

I disagree. It has no pleasing shape or proportions, so it gives my geometric intuition nothing to chew on. It has nothing good to offer my nose, and nothing to offer my ears. It's too complicated to be elegant, but still not overwhelming enough to be sublime. And it is too specific to be appreciated for itself as life.

The systems involved in a pig are far more intricately fascinating and beautiful than a piece of dirt wrapped in layers of nacreous material but aesthetics is a very personal matter and not really arguable.

Definitely. There is nothing more beautiful than a bacon sandwich.

Someday one of your heart valves may be replaced by the flesh of a swine. In addition to which swine and humans share over 85 percent of their genes.
