Thou Shalt Not

Mary

Who else points out a true path? Who else leads mankind upward to the heavens? What voices are being raised? I must speak clearly.

Truth requires a great struggle. Truth is like a hill that can be climbed only at a cost. Truth must be woven into life. Truth must be lived. Thousands of decisions for truth must be made, small decisions and big decisions. If the small ones are neglected, the big ones will never happen. Truth is to live in light.

Many do not want the light. They prefer darkness and do not want the truth to challenge their style of life. Man wants to do what he wants to do. He does not want a clear voice saying, “Thou shalt not”. Every person, at some moment, needs to hear the words, “What you want to do, what you would prefer to do, you are not allowed to do”. Happy the man who hears those words and restrains his selfish desires. He has saved himself great agony.
