Is good. Light. Whatever
And some legitimately evil
Intentions decide
Remember nothing is evil
Except souls. Choices.
Because evil is a privation. Understand this.
Evil is un- or anti- good only
Not anything itself
Guarding the gaze, holding the tongue etc are ways to keep a lid one's potential for evil
Yeah, these are in context though
Sometimes the tongue needs to be loosed
Being tempted is not evil
Only the evil choice and action is the evil
If you are tempted and dont follow through
Its all good
This is necessary
I suppose sometimes it's good to talk it out with another? which would be less good than being able to deal with whatever it is within oneself alone. Though, we are only human
Its why you were not simply created flawless
So you can live and choose
No harm in talking. Remember its about intention and action.
Even then, actual physical removal becomes the choice
There is nothing one truly cannot resist but yeah if they think they will be and seek it anyway
So there's still always a choice
Thats right
I'm trying to think of this example from a story
Something to do with an expedition to Rome
Oh well
Gist?
I may remember
Something about one of the warriors voicing that he wouldn't be able to resist the Roman women
So he simply didn't get to go on that expedition
(?)
Nah dont recall
But every little thing has effect on something
Voicing this for example, vs not, but still not going
I think it is more significant it was considered a legit excuse by his fellows
yeah for sure
Apathy is the antithesis of faith it would seem
Why am I not metal?
