Fleeting moments
Temptation would perhaps be the one weakness that might get me killed someday.
goes the same with curiosity, pride and vanity.But temptation. Hell...thats a another ball game althogether.
I have never been good at resisting anything I desire. Could be down to the inherited gene of impatience from my mother's side of course. Chocolate, sleep, clothes, XXX. you name it, and i probably wouldnt last 3 seconds without lunging myself at it. It is actually literally impossible for me to turn a blind eye or bit my lip while jiggling from top to toe with unbearable desire trying to fight the illicit urge that overwhelms me like a crushing tidal wave.
And then today I was thought a valuable lesson.
The process of it wasnt important. What I learnt from though, was.
Temptation, like milestones in life, hits you hard from time to time. It happens. But with every single hit, the impact it brings might be bad, but it isnt permanent. you could lie low for a while, keeping your face down in a shadowed corner, waiting for the storm to pass, and eventually, it will.
Sometimes you wouldnt believe that anything will change, but Life apparently has proven to be a pretty hardy thing.
and yes, bring on the " Time heals all wounds." yad yada crap. Such cliched shite! but there you are.
It isnt so much the initial shock from the pain that it brings which hurts so much. Its the waiting period for the pain to pass that is more unbearable.
And how i have ended up talking like Miz Oprah when all I have started off was giving out about surviving temptation from a single chocolate Mars bar, beats me.
I feel a John Lennon moment coming on now.
