But as soon as he has indulged those feelings, he regains the humanity which he had lost from the immediate impulse of provocation and repents deeply. So that his mind is continually making the most sudden transitions from good to evil, from evil to good. A state of such perpetual tumult must be attended with the misery of restless inconsistency. He laments his want of tranquillity and speaks of the power of application to composing studies, as a blessing placed beyond his attainment, which he regrets.

We have the right to choose, but, likewise, we have the responsibility to choose. We cannot be neutral. There is no middle ground. The Lord knows this Lucifer knows this. So there is a great campaign being waged today. On the one hand, Lucifer has attractively painted his road signs. You have read them you have seen them. They are bright they are attractive. They read something like this 'Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' Another may read 'It's the popular thing to do.' Another one may read 'Just this once won't matter.' On the other hand, the Lord has prepared His road signs for our guidance. They read 'Fear God and keep his commandments.' See II Kings 1736-39. Another one may read 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap.' See Galatians 67. Another one 'There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.' (DC 13020-21) Thus we have two roads to follow, and we have the responsibility to choose.
