it seems that for some,it is just easier to do what ever pleases them,instead of having some self control or being centered they remind me of a tumbleweed,going which ever way the wind sends them.i think as a whole we have become lazy and spoiled,wanting everything and wanting it now.each person has a road in which they must travel,we can stay on our road or walk beside them,pointing out each mistake that they make.i say,if i do well,if i teach my children well,then this is enough, i can not make people the way i want them to be or the way i think that they aught to be but wish them all well and walk the red road.

People who are not saved live according to their sinful nature, so sinful things appeal to them.
Those who are saved are not interested in sinful things. (That doesn't mean those who are saved won't sin. Everyone will, but they will feel guilty and repent when they do. They will not desire to sin).
Paul explains this in Romans.
Romans 8:5-8
"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds on what the Spirit desires. The mind of the sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God."
To better answer your question I would recommend going and reading the entire chapter, or better yet, the entire book of Romans.
Many blessings.

I have never committed a sin, not ever. The concept of "sin" only allows those who believe in the Christian god to "sin", as they are the only ones who recognize the act as being said "sin".
You, with your Christian beliefs, may believe that I have "sinned", but I do not recognize "sin" as existing, and so I cannot do or posses these characteristics that you believe result in "sin".
I may have also done activities that constitute as "sin" in your holy book, but because I don't recognize your book as being relevant or truthful, the "sin" does not apply.
I am a moral and intelligent person who strives to live a life that has a purpose. You merely condemn those who think differently, and are unwilling to see how my life does not need to be explained to a man sitting in a confession box.
I may be a better person than you, help more of those in distress and feed more of the hungry, but because you are only able to see me as being wrong, my life holds little value to you.

Because what some may consider sin, others consider as just fun.

Ah, sinful. Come to grips with 'SIN' being a religious construct and you will understand.

Satan takes all the good things God gives us and twists them.
