Sin holds the physical glories of the here-and-now world in front of you and tells you that they are the only glories worth living for. Sin shrinks your zeal and narrows your vision.

In so doing you will not only experience true glory, but you will recapture your true humanity.

You are always looking for something to which you can attach your identity, your hopes and dreams, and your inner peace.
