- Thou shalt not swear or utter cuss words in the situation above- [Sub-section: Thou shalt not beat someone to a pulp because they scratched your car]
- Thou shalt not count Eidi every ten minutes and mentally calculate your chances of getting an iphone with it
- In fact, Thou shalt not suck up to elders and distribute (mithai) sweets around the neighbourhood in the hopes that they would give you some cash
- Thou shalt not whine about less Eidi this year and compare it with the inflation rates whining some more at the unfairness of it all- [Sub-section for my cousins: Thou shalt NOT rip me off; salary not in yet]
- Thou shalt not whine about ruined mehandi or curse the tailor for not getting the fitting just right and vow to pay him less
- Thou just shalt not whine. Period
