People would never sin
if they were aware
that each time they sin
it is themselves they are damaging.
Most people are in too much of torpor, alas,
to have the slightest awareness
of what they are doing to themselves.
A drunkard was walking down a street with blisters in both of his ears. A friend
asked him what had happened to cause the blisters.
“My wife left her hot iron on, so when the phone rang I picked the iron up by
mistake.”
“Yes, but what about the other ear?”
“The damned fool called back!”
