There are a couple that I have given into. A beautiful woman who knows who enjoys classical music, knows who Isaac Newton, Kepler, and Copernicus are and cake. Imagine how much I gave in when I met a woman like that who baked me a cake. I lost my mind.
LOL
Depends, as I'm often tempted to go birding outdoors in the sunshine instead of cleaning.
It would be cool to have an app that shows what will happen to you in ten years if you continue doing that particular thing every day. If you like to grab a couple of doughnuts on your way to work, what will you look like in ten years, or what will your health be like, all things being equal?
Give in to the ones that are harmless but resist the ones that can cause problems. I think it's about using reason to decide whether or not to give in to a temptation.
My late partner had a motto she said all the time. It was "Discipline first then love" At first I didn't understand that and thought it was for her kids (her daughter told her "mom, you know all the times I said I hate you? Thank you. Then I thought it was for her students. After seeing how she faced her death I realized it was about her.
It's hard to face difficult times with a sense of reason.
* Sá sem lifir án aga, deyr án heiðurs old Islandic saying ***
He who lives without discipline, dies without honor.
Not quite the same thing, but close.
As long as you're willing to live with the worst case scenario of giving into a particular temptation, then yes, go for it. If you're not, then you have to give some serious consideration to risk vs rewards.
I can resist anything except temptation.
Or as Bart Maverick put it, in the series "Maverick": "My Pappy told me if you can resist women and temptation, you're no son of mine."
