About This Quote
This quote is a warning to everyone who has a tendency to sin. What would the world be like without people who are self-centered? What would be left of it? A world filled with people who are unable to see the importance of their own lives is a world that will soon die out. Sinning means missing out on all the benefits that life has to offer. When people understand this, they experience a sense of loss. They are sad because they are missing out on an opportunity to make their lives better.
