Your creativity gets killed as you do what you were not meant to do.

Your light dims as you do what you were not meant to do.

Your resolve weakens as you do what you were not meant to do.

We were meant to experience joy.  Sadness, pain, suffering will always come – but that is not what we were built for, that is not what we were meant to do. That is why when we have a choice, we must choose joy.
