Ben Sira 9:7 Do not look around the streets of the city or wander through its squares.
For catholics and people that consider Ben Sira valid.
Do you include looking at the people passing by your house on foot and in cars when you're on the front porch as "look around the streets". In a way I am looking at strangers doing their business as I would in the street and sometimes I feel a little awkward if I stare too much. I don't want to invite problems into my life. Sometimes I have to pretend I'm not seeing someone bc they could take offense. On the other side I'm in my home. But looking around the streets from my house may not be a good thing.
What's your take on it. Probably you would be comfortable because you're in your home.
