"Sin passes itself off as an expansion, an emancipation; at the moment of yielding to it, every sinner is inclined to believe this. The very opposite is true. By sinning I emancipate myself only from my own proper nature, my own happy destiny, choosing a falsification of myself, following a road without a goal, or, rather, one whose goal is not what I am seeking: my own perdition."
Father Antonin G. Sertillanges, d. 1948
Think carefully about this, especially the first sentence.
