If you apply a magnet to the end of a needle that moves freely on its pivot,the needle affected by the strong attraction-approaches the magnet as if it loved it.Reverse the order and apply the magnet now to the other pole-the magnet and the needle shrinks away trembling as if it did not love but hated it.
So it is with temptation.One man rushes into the arms of vice- another recoils from it in horror.
According to the nature it addresses is holy or unholy- temptation attracts or repels- is loved or hated.
What do you do when you are tempted ?

I have found the best thing to do is to leave a situation before it even becomes a temptation. That way I do not have to feel tested and see if I can resist the test. A person who looks with open eyes can see it coming and avoid it.

it depends on what I am tempted by if it making a dission to do good or evil I will choose to do the good and if is a dission that I can not deciede than I ask I pray that I make the right choice
