georgym Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 1 : the act of tempting or the state of being tempted especially to evil : ENTICEMENT2 : something tempting : a cause or occasion of enticement Even if it's going to nip you in the bud, sometimes temptation for something is a good thing. Either when a loved one is gone, or you're just curious about someone else, temptation is always there.For instance, you all know my issues with smurfette. Well, before she left for Italy for a month to study abroad, we smoothed things out, but they're still icey. I have had temptation knock at my door a few times, and tried to stay strong. But im afraid one of these days, im just going to give in.Could that be a bad thing:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycmuzik Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 I dont think there's anything wrong with temptation.....Its what you do with those feelings that matter...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Wait a second here, Papa Smurf, did you just say Smurfette is only going to be gone for a month??? Anyway, I think the best way to deal with temptation is to consider the possible consequences of your actions, and to weigh the short-lived satisfaction you will gain from indulging, against any possible repurcussions. What, in the long run, will make you the happiest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candeo Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Nah, first you need to decide if it's going to hurt anybody else. If it's going to hurt somebody else, it's also going to come back and hurt you eventually. either through reprocussions that the involved parties will take, or when you admit to yourself that what you did was wrong.The only way to safely give into temptation is if you take the time to remove the ties that define the difference between giving into impulses or simply making a good decision.Can I get a bump if you think this makes sense to you?

therunner Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I am a sucker for temptation...Sex, drugs, Booze, skipping work, whatever. But I always make sure that what I do won't hurt someone else. So if I am in a relationship and sex is offered, I will say no. That doens't mean that I am kicking myself in the head for saying no, but I won't let the other person get hurt for my selfishness.

sweetie029 Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 I used to give in to temptation all the time!! I often wouldn't care who i hurt because i was too "caught up in the moment"...but now...me & my boyfriend just hit 1 year I don't even care to talk to other guys anymore...when I'm out with my friends I don't even comment on a good looking guy anymore....b4 I would cheat & indulge in temptation whenever I felt like it...now I couldn't imagine being with anyone else...yea i know LOL SO DON'T GIVE IN BECAUSE YOU MIGHT REGRET IT LATER!!
