"Desire and passion, like two unmanageable horses, have wrested the reins of control from him and are galloping madly in the wilderness. This is the cause of the degradation of the world of humanity. This is the cause of its retrogression into the appetites and passions of the animal kingdom... By devotion to the carnal mortal world, human susceptibilities sink to the level of animalism." "Despair, both here and hereafter, is all you will gain from self- indulgence." (Pup 179; Sdc 105) (54:7)
