       I can think back on doing sinful things and then later feeling guilty for doing them. I felt both guilt and regret. That never stopped me from continuing to do wrong things, however. See, I was a slave to sin. I didn’t know how to not do wrong things. I didn’t know how not to make fun of certain people. I didn’t know how to not laugh, or even tell, dirty jokes. I didn’t know how not to look at girls with the wrong perspective. And I couldn’t have stopped doing wrong even if I had given it my very best. My master wasn’t God; it was the wrong master. And he certainly didn’t have my best interests in mind. He didn’t care about me, or anyone else for that matter. He always told me to avenge myself on the occasion I was wronged, to be following lustful desires, to buy what I wanted to buy whenever I wanted to, that I didn’t have to treat people good, and on and on the list goes. Total rebelliousness. No discipline. No God in my life. And, all there was, at the end of the day, was death.
