Having money may make your life
comfortable but it will not bring joy. Having romance may make you life warm
and fuzzy, but it will not bring you joy. You can surround yourself with people
who make life easy by telling you what you want to hear, but it will not bring
you joy.
You can abuse and take advantage of
people to “get ahead” and this may work for a time, but it will not bring you
joy and there will be negative consequences. The pursuit of holiness will put
you at odds within your culture and life will be difficult, but it will be full
of joy.
It is easy to follow the culture in
which you live, especially when that culture is nice and comfortable but taking
that path will not lead you to holiness but only self-deception. When everyone
around you tells you that everything is fine, they are not telling you the
truth and they are not helping you. The path to holiness is contrary to the culture that surrounds you.
