Don’t Say It, Just Think It
It’s a word that many people don’t take very seriously anymore, yet it names a concept well worth keeping in mind, both on and off the job.
The word is sin. Many of us first heard this word as kids when we were learning right from wrong. It may have come up in lessons about the Ten Commandments from our parents, Sunday school teachers or catechists. We were told that sin is an offense against God. Now, as working adults in the business world, we might occasionally encounter this word used in a figurative sense, such as a seminar called “How to avoid the seven deadly sins in shopfloor inspection,” or as a casual remark, as in “The new color of the breakroom is a sin against good taste.” Used this way, sin means simply a bad mistake or a grave error in judgment.
