"The things you should do are often the ones you do not want to do but must do."

Someone said this to me once before. In just this single sentence, it brings forth the message of commitment and responsibilities very strongly, and many times, we feel the temptation to do an act but yet we are stopped by obligations, regardless of whether we have made the choice to be chained to it.

Temptation occurs almost everyday. Some say it takes discipline to overcome it, and others say it is sheer willpower. In a relationship, it is an almost unspoken thing that it is love which kills the temptation.

Discipline, willpower and love? Is that all it takes? It sounds so easy, and these anwers just simply look like theoratical solutions to me, the first things to jump to everyone's mind when the question of fighting temptation is put across to them.
We are also taught that temptation is bad, or maybe more explicitly, giving in to the fight of temptation, or horror of all horrors, not fighting at all.

But why is temptation evil? Is it because you hurt yourself in the process? When you give in to the temptation to study instead of play? Or is it because you hurt someone else in the process? When you stray, even when you're in a relationship.

These seem like such easy and obvious outcomes. But is it really?

'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall. -- Shakespeare. Is it that wrong to fall?

Then we have to debate the fine line of right vs wrong. Sigh.

But like what I said to someone once (along the lines anyway) " It was so wrong, every aspect and every angle pointed to WRONG. Yet, somehow it doesnt matter cause it seemed so right. "

And then I realised. When it comes to feelings, it is the epitomy of Complex.

Friday: Went to watch beautiful boxer. Go catch it! It's great to have a controversial issue spoken from the voice of who is usually the victim. met Zen and Joey after that for some so-called work at Chinablack, some database thigny. It was quite...hmm.. I dont know. I was in the washroom, and there was this girl that was wailing at the sink. And when she saw me, she wailed even louder! Her friend told me her gf just broke up with her so maybe the sight of me made her feel worse. That was so.... ok...

Met Raine at Chinablack! Heyyyyyy :) It was really great seeing you yeah? :D

Today: Cheryl and I took our first sort-of holiday at JB! It was my first time.. haha even though I've driven through several times before. I finally found a white denim jacket! The kind that I was whining and looking for all over Singapore.
