Temptation

Temptation is defined in wikipedia as an act that looks appealing to an individual. It is usually used to describe acts with negative connotations and as such, tends to lead a person to regret such actions, for various reasons: legal, social, psychological (including feeling guilt), health, economic, etc. Temptation also describes the coaxing or inducing a person into commiting such an act, by manipulation or otherwise of curiosity, desire or fear of loss.

"Temptation" is usually used in a loose sense to describe actions which indicate a lack of self control, such as procrastination or eating junk food.

In advertising, temptation is a theme common to many of the marketing and advertising techniques used to make products more attractive for purchase by consumers.

We as human beings often succumb to temptation not because we are ain't aware of it but rather we always tried to deny its presence. We have read in papers on couples caught cheating. Do you think that it just happen without any tell tale signs? I believe the party involve knows of the consequences involved. But why do they still succumb to temptation? I think it is because they tried to deny the fact that such things will happen to them. They failed to recognise that they are human after all with feelings. They refuse to avoid the situation thinking that they will never fall into it. Guess what? They are not only hurting themselves but the one who loved them.

We ain't God or Jesus who could withstand temptation. Don't allow yourself to be in that situation and end up hurting others. Also, some are tempted to lie but do you think lying will make the problem go away? Like the chinese saying: Paper will never be able to cover the fire. So do not think that we can get away without being detected. The lies will haunt you for life.
