41 / 52: Temptation
Friday Food for Thought
"The first time we ever got a chance to be alone we knew,
That it was wrong to do,
I guess that's why I was drawn to you,
The 2nd time leads to the 3rd, the 5th, the 7th time,
I feel so alive, it won't last but it's alright,
Fleeting joy and fading ecstasy, here it goes again oh,
Sneaking fruit from the forbidden tree, Sweet taste of sin"

Words can never be spoken true about temptation.
It is sweet...
It makes you feel alive...
All of us in life, one time or another, have been tempted and it does not have to be
sexual. But one thing about temptation when you give in to it the power of it can have you doing things you said you'd never do. Just to have the feeling of fading ecstasy.
Even though the grass appears to be greener the day after can be devastating. You can lose yourself having to cover with lies and more lies. And the temptation can lead to another all to capture that moment of excitement. Not to mention the lives it can damage and the withdrawal emotion you have to fight with to leave. I wish I could say temptation can be fought with logic or reasoning but the best solution is to walk away when it arrives.
Oh it is sweet ..... but the lost for a moment satisfaction it too high.
