“A father poured wine in a glass, and his son watched and said, ‘The mullahs at school say drinking is a sin,’ and the father said, ‘Then the mullahs are wrong.
There is only one sin and that is theft.
Every other sin is a variation of theft.
When you kill a man, you steal a life
You steal his wife’s right to her husband
His children’s right to a father.
When you tell a lie
You steal someone’s right to the truth.
When you yell and fight
You steal someone’s right to peace.’
Then the son replied,
‘But drinking is a grave sin then,
Because it is a silent theft of health, of peace and stability in the home
And a thief of goodness in society.’, and that is very true. “
