Temptation is something you have to take with a grain of salt. Otherwise there is no reluctance to give in, no conscience, no threat of perdition. There are the lives we wanted. The lives we lead. The lives that will be torn to paper dolls if all you do is say yes. Its acceptance that gets you in the end. What Saint Peter will tell you at the gates after he says your home is no longer here.
Temptation tastes of strawberries, did you know that? That soft passivity, the luscious yielding of delicate flesh, only sins can taste this good.
