Through me into the city of endless pain
Through me enter the pit of eternal misery
Through me, enter the eternal crowd
To propel my noble Creator
I am the crystallization of divine power and divine love.
Before me there was no eternal creation
I will be with heaven and earth forever
Anyone who enters will lose all hope
Arrogance: Avoid arrogance and bear heavy punishment.
Jealousy, the warning is to punish jealousy with a slit in the eye
Rage, avoid it in anger - Black smoke punishes it
Lazy is punished by laziness - running is punished
Greed: Avoid greed - lie down and punish
Gluttony should be avoided by eating food and punishing it by hunger.
Lust, the warning lies in lust - the flames punish it
——Dante "Divine Comedy Purgatory"
Intent: To illustrate that there is no absolute right or wrong by dealing with both sides of good and evil.
