The world today insists that it is best to be allowed to do whatever you wish, that whatever is 'right' for you is what you should do. They advocate being able to choose from all the world offers, in effect to Enter in by the wide way. This philosophy seems to promise much freedom, but the end result is less and less freedom, and less and less happiness as people are squeezed into the narrow end of the funnel, the result of their choices earlier on.
Christ on the other hand asks us to Enter in by the narrow way. Satan wants us to think this is restrictive, that we are being limited in what we can do, that we are lacking freedom. Just as in the funnel, entering in by the narrow way leads to much more freedom in the future.
Obeying the commandments of God to love one another, to be chaste, to serve, opens up great vistas to us, great freedoms and great blessings. Choosing to be selfish, to violate the laws of chastity, to abuse body and mind wraps us in chains that will no longer give us many choices.
