"One might reflect on how, for example, an attachment to television or to clothing brings about any number of faults, faults that St. John of the Cross enumerates... judging others badly... waste of time... envy... avarice... vanity... fear of what should not be feared... a loss of taste for the Eucharist... forgetfulness of God... gossiping... neglect of work."
In other words, there's a domino effect to sin. Out of curiosity, you just barely nudge that first sin and - watch out - all related sins are toppling fast...
