Very often we benefit from these structures of sin. Sometimes we benefit financially, sometimes we benefit socially, or sometimes our lives are just a little more convenient because of sin. Take, for example, plastic bags in grocery stores. We know that the plastic is building up in the environment to critical levels. Micro-plastics are in fish we eat and the water we drink. We know it is bad, but it is just too hard to stop. It is difficult to push against the tide. In other instances, we know that, if we stand up for what is right, people around us may reject us or try to punish us. This happens with kids on the playground and with adults in the workplace! Instead, we remain quiet and go with the flow. What do we do when the resistance to do the right thing feels so strong?
