Default Temptation.

"The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation" - Oscar Wilde.

What do you think about this quote who shows a lot of meaning and divides people ?
Are you tempted ? By what ? How ? Do you resist or not ? Are you easily tempted ?

The big debate is open !

Usually the little voice in my head is able to say "NO, DON'T" - but occasionally it doesn't work...

Usually I'm tempted to skive lessons at college - because friends have a free period and are going to town or something.

To counter-that I have EMA, so I just remember I need that more

I get the temptation to do things and right now, it's a bottle of Diamond White cider.

I couldn't resist that feeling, that I could do with a drink

Earlier it was "Cadbury's Chocolate Fingers", but today, I resisted the temptation to eat the whole packet and I only had half, so I am doing well.

But yesterday, the whole packet went

Im not really tempted a lot because i usually do the right thing but sometimes when something naughty happens a little voice pops into my head but I usually swipe it away and ignore it

oh I am terrible at resisting temptation, it is usually something that I know people wont approve of. For example I might burp really loudly in a shop with my daughter just to see her face, or stick silly things on my head in clothes shops, or very loudly ask for a size 6 even though I am obviously not a size 6 then complain that it is a small 6. My poor daughter luckily is tolerant and its those kind of things that tempt me to be naughty. Almost like I have a little devil on my shoulders prompting me lol

Ha, Mr Wilde was correct. Resisting temptations makes unhappiness, yielding to temptation makes me happy. I yield all the time!

Which is probably the reason I'm a shopaholic chocoholic...

If there's chocolate in front of me I have to slap my right arm and hold it back with my left arm.

I am rubbish at resisting things. Generally speaking, if it's a bad idea, I'll go right ahead and do it
