heartaches, and never find true love; if you
follow the ways of greed, you may or may
not have many things in life, but you may
never find meaning or peace of soul; if you
are prideful, you may be blind to your own
corruption, perceive yourself above others,
and ignorant to the ways of the spirit; if you
follow the ways of sloth, you shall never
achieve anything of significance on the
ground, or up above; if you follow the ways
of vanity, you may be compulsory in your
need for attention, and your soul shall be
marred by the self-gratification it craves,
unable to see the true need's of other soul's,
unable to give love or receive it in a true

which is unforgiving and hateful, you shall
also be unforgiven and hated. Worst of all, if
you follow any of these ways, you may
never truly know God."
