Temptation often gets the best of us.  We always want what we can’t have. 

The other day, I was watching the news and they were talking about how peanut butter is now off of the shelves because lots of people were dying from salmonella poisioning .  I didn’t think much of it since I don’t even eat peanut butter.  Later on, I go food shopping and see peanut butter on the shelves for half price.  My first thought was “what scum bags.”  As I leave the isle, I’m thinking of how good that crunchy peanut butter tastes.  Now I find my self turning around and stocking up on peanut butter.  I felt like Adam when he was reaching for the apple.  Now I don’t know if it was the thought that the peanut butter has Salmonilla, was in the back of my mind but I got a really bad stomach ache right after eating some.  “F*ck I’m going to die!” was my initial thought.  Luckily, it wasn’t as serious as I had thought and I got better after I vomited. 

It then accured to me how stupid I was in risking my life by getting the peanut butter in the first place.  After long hard thought, I realized that I was just being human.  We always fall for temptation.  You can date a supermodel and you will still find yourself having thoughts of doing some dirty things to that average looking waitress who is serving you while on a date with your girl.  Its hard to satisfy the mind.

 

Take a minute out of your time to be thankful of what you have.  You can’t be happy until you accept what you are stuck with.  From there, better things will come your way.
