Gravity: A Parallel, Part 2

    As I said before we must strive to move forward rather than upward.
    Anyone knows the difficulty in riding a bike up a hill and the ease in riding down one; the same is true in living our lives.  When one decides he'd rather not put forth the effort to strive following the commandments he also chooses to follow the flow and travel with little care on where he is headed.  One does not need to contemplate long on where this action will lead, because it will only lead to pain and suffering. 
    As we move down the hill we pick up speed as we go down, and we move steadily faster and faster towards our undoing.  Same with sin and temptation; the longer you to continue break the commandments and the deeper and deeper you dig yourself, the greater magnitude of sin you commit.  One must train himself with self discipline to know when one is heading downward and not upward.
