One way or another we will feel that urge or temptation and like it or not, we have to deal with it.
Some sees it as a test from God. Others interpret it as a scheme from the evil one. Whatever it is, we are required to respond: to give in or to resist.
Psychologists will prefer to explain it as a struggle between the id, ego and the super-ego. According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id represents the dark, chaotic aspect of us which seeks pleasure without regard to morals, or consequences. And is driven by instincts and impulses, and seeks instant self-gratification.
In contrast, the super-ego is the complete opposite of id, and helps us to defend our sense of right and wrong, shame and guilt. It also stores our internalized moral standards and ideals that we acquire and shaped from our parents and the society.
The ego mediates between the clashes of id and the super-ego. It regulates the id to allow for our survival and well-being - without violating the moral principles and against the external world.
It is not hard to imagine the temptations that life presents us, and it may strain our ego's ability to hold on to those moral teachings that we holds dear.
Perhaps this is the reason why we hear of how celebrity figures falling into temptations... think Tiger Wood, Jack Neo, Wayne Rooney. They gave in to sexual temptation. Perhaps if they have some way to deal with their sex drives these stories will not exist?
Not here to judge but maybe they have not heard of
TENGA.
Maybe someone should give one
Tenga Fliphole or
Tenga Fliplite, or a set of
Tenga Eggs for these guys on their birthday or Christmas!
