It is reached when a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost Despair is the ultimate development of a pride so great and so stiff-necked that it selects the absolute misery of damnation rather than accept happiness from the hands of God and thereby acknowledge that he is above us and that we are not capable of fulfilling our destiny ourselves. But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in a humble man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity. We see here that pride is a curse that leads to death. Humility, however, leads to love. It is the yes to life, the yes to community.
Love alone fulfills the longing of our innermost being.

As children grow into young men and women, their sexual desire increases, and often their most immediate urge is to seek sexual gratification through masturbation. And the sexual activity it often leads to, even among children who have barely reached puberty, is considered by some to be normal. Masturbation can never bring true satisfaction.
