On the other hand, it is possible to sin by giving in to other people too much. Here are some things you should not be ashamed of:
2
the Law of the Most High and his covenant, judging even godless people fairly,
3
sharing expenses with a business partner or a traveling companion, sharing an inheritance,
4
using accurate weights and measures,
5
making a profit, whether great or small, bargaining with a merchant, disciplining your children often, beating a disloyal slave until the blood flows.
6
It is wise to lock things up if you cannot trust your wife or if too many people are around.
7
Keep an accurate record of any deposits you make or of anything you give or receive.

Don't hesitate to correct someone who is acting foolishly or an old man who goes around with prostitutes. All of this is worthwhile advice, and if you follow it, everyone will approve of your behavior.
