In many areas of the Andes, farmers, communities, and the Inca state constructed agricultural terraces (andenes) to increase the amount of arable land. Andenes also reduced the threat of freezes, increased exposure to sunlight, controlled erosion, and improved the absorption of water and aeration of the soil.
Sinners have little left to mess up after they sin of course. It is almost like treading on “thin ice”. Like also meaning whatever they do next is the last straw.
