Vices surround us on every side, and they do not permit us to rise or open our eyes to the truth, but they keep us down once they have overwhelmed us, and chain us to lust. Their victims are never allowed to return to their true selves; if ever they have a chance to find a release, like the waters of the deep sea which continue to heave even after the storm has past, they are tossed about, and no rest from their lust is allowed.
