#Precept

A precept is the divine script penned to cage the beast of human freedom. In practice, it is merely a cloak of sanctity draped over arbitrary ‘dos and don’ts.’ Packing daily desires into the neat little boxes of rigid rules is like using an hourglass to hide the messiness of the soul. Whether it serves moral guidance or a thirst for control remains indiscernible. Example: She imposed the ‘one snack per day’ precept on herself, hoping to tame her sweet tooth.
