| Worldly life is full of evil desires; it involves servility to wicked masters; it is disastrous in the end; it is a source of sin, and productive of painful experiences. Say, why, and for whose benefit, dost Thou not remedy this misery of mine? O Lord! If it, however, contributes to Thy joy, we are, indeed, satisfied. |
