When I started off, I believed that the true determinant of how great I was was through my lifestyle, wardrobe, the type of car I drove, being seen with the right people; and if I made it unscathed, the estates I would own, and how the media would be singing my name like Urbanas’s. I saw my father apologizing for not supporting me. But life is a twisty bastard. When I called it quits on robbery, drugs, hedonism, and paedophilia and most probably necromancy–the ‘scarletest’ of sins according to me– I made a vow never to live a profane life again, not even the most subtle of snares would entrap me. I had seen them all, even in their disguises, and I knew them when I saw them. Vincent De Paul
About This Quote

Robbery, drugs, hedonism, paedophilia and necromancy are all sins. When I called it quits on all of them, I was quite sure that my life will be free from sin. And so it happened. None of these sins have held me back, even the slightest of snares have not caught me.

Some people may say that Robbery is a greater sin than others but I say that they are different kinds of sins. If you rob someone, you are robbing them not just their money but also their dignity. You are stealing what is rightfully theirs.

If you rob someone of their money, they are still able to live their live with dignity. But if you steal their soul, they can no longer live with dignity. Robbery, drug abuse and paedophilia are different kinds of sins because they involve stealing of souls whereas hedonism and necromancy don’t.
