Forum Post: If I were to be alive

Pride is what drives us to want more... greed insists on us to want more... lust makes us need more... sloth lets us get more... envy makes us work more... gluttony makes us keep more... and Wrath... makes us hate each other more... The child looked up at the man... and asked, "Why do you want so much?" the man lowered his chin, and looked down at the damp ground beneath him, "so that way, I can know that i am free," the child around, and then looked back at him, "so, what if you're not free, what then?" the man looked around, and then said "If I were to search the entire world, and never find it, would I be free?" he thought some more, "the only way to be free... is to cut all bonds that tie you to this earth," the man looked at the child who seemed annoyed at that moment, and the child asked, "but what if you're not free?" the man sat down, and then became alone... and never wanted to become great... but the child knew... the child knew that the man knew... that the man knew of the emptiness that had filled him... and the child was free... because the child had no worries in the world... careless as he is, the child is more free than anyone who walks the face of the planet because he doesn't have the natural sins that most of humanity does...
