$\"\"$ <\/a>There are two different roads, one broad and easy, the other hard and narrow. And there are two guides vying with each other to attract the traveler\u2019s\u00c2\u0092s attention. The easy undisciplined way of life leads to pleasure to be enjoyed now, not later; the way of salvation is hard, but promises a beautiful future. The soul is confused and dithers in its calculations. It prefers pleasure when it is looking at the present; it chooses virtue when its eye is on eternity.<\/p>\n
