Temptations...no, not the music group. I'm referring to the draw of posession and greed. Each day we are surrounded by alluring bait or posed with situations which we know are wrong, but would prosper from. I'm also speaking of the temptations to buy, eat, or indulge. Where are those tell-tale signs: All-You-Can-Eat, SALE, Unbeatable! And around us we also see what everyone else has and what we don't - ENVY.
Yes, there are those sinful temptations, but the obstacle course of life just seems to pull at our emotions enough to cause the feelings of want. Human nature is to be the best it can be (for the work it's willing to put into that philosophy). We want to take care of ourselves, well at least as far as accomodations are concerned. Our health and mental well-being take a back seat. So as we entertain ourselves, we're also making ourselves victims of the Market.
