The Right Choices

There is temptation all around me. And I am immersed in some of it. I've set my sight on a certain individual who possesses a certain set of mind and characteristics. I've also made a vow, to myself, that the more I give in to my own temptations, the longer it will take for that person to become mine. I want that person with all my heart. It is my goal to attain the love of that person. And even if that person cannot see the sins I'm committing all the time, God can, and He has His ways of controlling fate. Why does everything that feels so good have to be so bad? Is this test of temptation really one that has to be passed? Considering certain acts of indulgence are really harmless? Or are they? Of course they aren't. Wasn't it temptation that led to the downfall of Man? Is it really worth delaying my own Happiness from reaching me? When all I have to do is stop doing wrong things? So much easier said than done. But God has His ways of justice. And a promise made to Him cannot, should not, be broken. It's easy to succumb to temptation, and, after a while, the Conscience is numbed to all feelings of remorse or guilt or compunction. The sheer carnality of the pleasures that are before me should dissuade me from lowering myself to the level of earthly desires, and to aim for eternal happiness, which both he, and He, approve of. I know the Right Path. Now all I have to do is follow it.
