On Struggles

Why is it that you can struggle with something, give in, and then feel defeated? Are you really struggling with yourself? What is the difference between temptation and desire? If you are tempted to do something, do you, or do you not desire to do it? And if you do desire to do it, what makes it different from desiring something else that is not a temptation? Surely no one is going to suggest that temptation and desire are the same things, so what are they? How are they different?

JOE! YOU THE MAN!!! I have no idea what your post said but THATS OK! YOU THE MAN!!!

I will read it some day though... like tomorrow. Joe I can't promise I will leave any profound comments, but I do promise I will never comment twice - saying the same thing- (like some other peeps we know). Well hey, Manny, It's been awesome sleeping in the room next to you. Really. Thanks for the intro to Futurama!

The difference between desire and temptation: desire is something you want but rarely have, temptation is something you have but rarely want.
