the root to all evil

so what is the root to all evil? money? try harder, not good enough. Kids, the word of the day is: TEMPTATION

and I dun mean the people who sang "my girl" (The Temptations)

to curb this evil, we must first identify it. reverend seamus is not going to preach about it, coz he don't exist.. ok maybe somewhere else..

maybe we can just ask ourselves whenever we make a move at anything, "is this a temptation? do i have to stop it? will there be any negative effects caused by this temptation? And whether it is worth it?"

of coz when i state all those qns above, i would believe that there's someone who will say yes to everything. take a real crime story i saw on tv. this guy murdered his wife to be with another woman.

is this a temptation?
yes duh
do i have to stop it?
no duh, i'm in love again~
will there be any negative effects caused by this temptation?
what's so negative about tasting new dish? i love it~ my favourite~ mmm i like
And whether it is worth it?
absolutely, i'll go to prison/die for her


There we go, my temptation self-check list, fully useless. haha if this is insanity, it's true, coz temptations cause one not to think straight.

say if i wanna buy an imac, my answers will be as follows in similar sequence:
yes
i guess so.. like the amount of computers in the house is more than the number of family members.. but imac is so nice! i want something powerful, how bout we say it's an upgrade eh?? well if it's an upgrade then... maybe i dun have to stop thinking about it? but i do not have the money, and it's not necessary to spend parent's money on it since i have a com working very well.. 2 coms in fact.. ok i should stop thinking of the imac FOR NOW.

ok, i think the whole chunk of internal thoughts on the previous para pretty much overs the rest of the qns, so i  self owned. goodbye imac, till next time~

come to think about it, i think i really apply such thoughts all these times, but when i didnt manage it, i get impulse buying (like the fucking trek ai-ball, waste of money totally).

temptations varies and seems like the most common is sex drugs and rocknroll.. ok maybe not much about the music, just thought of a song actually. what i meant was sex and money? which usually people say money is the root of all evil, coz why? money can buy everything that u tempt about. really, think about it, but ultimately it's the temptation that cause u to want money so as to fulfill it.

maybe im not going to the point on needs and wants.. coz i understand that needs are basically for survival, so what i meant was pointing towards the wants = temptations..

if u want nothing, u r not tempted to get anything.
