Ever thought of saying to yourself "i crossed the line"? the following narration reminded me staying away from temptations...
read on...
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.
It has came to my conclusion and impression that she is not WHOLESOME, yet she insisted that she is wholesome in nature.
Wholesomeness can be defined in a lot of different ways and meanings.
Here's one thought i wanna share that this wholesome girl 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 that, dont go near to temptations, as soon as u identified it, leave it and go away from it while its early. It's like a high plateu and at the end of it is a cliff, dont go near the cliff cuz 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.
In my response to her explanation and analogy, i blurted out that my nature is my love for the thrill of moments, being adventurous, taking risk to enjoy and experience the variations of life.
So i admitted to her that partly i am to blame for failing to temptations and partly i am to blame for i enjoyed the moment. Yet she despised that action for she insisted that i should have minded the consequences of my actions.
So true!!!!
I realized that being in to the unworthy threshold of actions, consequence would occur that you will repent in the end. Then a 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.
In the end, conscience speaks for itself, on your solitude or lying in bed as you enter slumber, i'm sure everyone has it!
