What does it mean to be happy? It gets old, you know. Trying to fill voids with materialistic things. Or constantly surrounding yourself around people who “make you happy”.

He didn’t dwell on his mistakes but rather rejoiced in the fact that the faults of his past did not determine his future. He murmured a sweet song in his head “You’re too faithful to fail

Sweet Forbidden Fruit
Struggling With Sin? He thought escaping purgatory would be a one-time thing. But somehow he is being sucked in again. Too religious to say being in the world is fun.
