Seeing Sin
Two points of danger beset mankind; namely, making sin seem either too large or too small. - Mary Baker Eddy

Sin is indeed in the eye of the beholder. The task is to put the offense in the correct light with reason, not emotion.

In order to prove themselves right, or to avoid confronting their own errors, some people will alter their definition of sin. These are dangerous folks to deal with - you can never be virtuous in their eyes without their permission.
