Treasures are things that we value. That's why the word treasure is both a noun and a verb. We treasure our treasures. We are willing to fight for them, hide them, or do whatever it takes to avoid losing them.
A pot of gold is a treasure. But so is a precious moment with someone special. Treasures do not have to be physical things. Friends and relatives are treasures just as much as gold an property.
Treasures are extensions of ourselves. They are our properties, our memories and our wealth., all the things that makes life pleasant and worth living. To loose our treasures due to greed, fear or sloth is therefore a sin. Such loss makes life less valuable, and it makes ourselves less valuable by extension.
