Temptation

Today I received the following message from Andreea R., thank you! I think this is a good lesson for everyone, but especially for me!

An american christian author has published an "Autobiography in fife short chapters". We reproduce it:

Chapter 1
I walk on a street.
In the middle of the sidewalk there is a deep hole.
I fall into it.
It´s not my mistake.
It will take me long time to be able to get out there.

Chapter 2
I walk on the same street.
In the middle of the sidewalk there is a deep hole.
I do as if I didn´t see it.
I fall into it again.
I can´t believe that I am at the same place again, but it´s not my fault.
It will still take me a lot of time to get out there.

Chapter 3
I walk on the same street.
In the middle of the sidewalk there is a deep hole.
I see that it´s there.
Nevertheless, I fall into it...it has become a habit by the time.
My eyes are opened.
I know where I am.
It´s my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4
I walk on the same street.
In the middle of the sidewalk there is a deep hole.
I walk beside it.

Chapter 5
I walk on another street.
