This text is a collection of excerpts from Confessions Book II, written by Saint Augustine. The author, in the first person, reflects upon his sinful youth and his descent into various forms of vice. He reflects on his lustful desires and acts of theft, which he confesses to have committed not out of necessity but out of a perverse enjoyment of the act itself. He explores his motivation for sinning and examines the role of friendship in his descent into wrongdoing. He ultimately expresses gratitude to God for his redemption and forgiveness, highlighting the importance of His grace in helping him escape the depths of his sins.
