Guarding Yourself With Temptations

(Note: You are reading this short story created circa 2010)

I met this girl named wholesome... she has been a friend from a long time,  however, we did not get to know each other so close. So the friendship formed wayback so long ago was a matter of fact the usual "Hi and Hello conversation".

Due to unexpected circumstances, our paths have crossed again.

Wholesomeness  can be defined in a lot of different ways and meanings.

Here's one thought I wanna share that this wholesome lady has shared the last time we met. 

Our conversation has something to do in guarding your faith, to stand your ground, and not to falter. I persisted that we are still humans, we cannot be perfect and will never be. So there would be times that we go astray and commit acts of iniquities. I told her one big example... temptation. And how does she deal with temptations? She asked me one arresting question? 

"Kaw ba, laging lumalapit sa bangin? Eh alam mong mahuhulog ka dun pagka sobrang lapit ka, sa isang iglap at maling paghakbang lang, hulog kana..."

What she is pointing here is, don't go near to temptations, as soon as you identified it..., leave and go away while it's early. It's like at a high plateau... at the end of it is a cliff, don't go near the cliff because it poses danger and death. Before its too late falling from that cliff, save yourself from the damage and never be near it. She emphasized that never ever be close to temptations because humans are easily tempted.

So true!

I realized, being in the state of unworthy threshold of actions, consequence would occur that you will repent in the end. Then again, it still depends on you, if there are set of principles you are following, morally and spiritually, then you may consider the above example.

Bottomline is, conscience speaks for itself..., in your solitude or lying in bed as you enter slumber, I'm sure you get what i mean.
