What do you do when temptation comes your way?

We all have our weaknesses and when it comes to resisting them it can be quite difficult, especially when presented to you upon a platter. So whatever it may be and you are highly tempted to do something which you know is wrong, how do you overcome your desire at that moment? I’d really like to know because our strength and imaan are constantly being tested. One can only so much avoid being in such circumstances because a lot of the time we are not looking to commit a sin but have to test our faiths. Do you people more often than not succumb to your specific weaknesses or do you have the personality to be able to resist all?

get tempted and just taste it and then try to bring Imaan Shield in front before it overpowers us

so true.. when temptations are served on a platter... resistance is futile.

I gained 10 pounds on my visit to Pak.. all due to succumbing to temptations and having one serving more of that gajjar ka halvaa..

Brief analysis : by temptation what exactly are we refering to ? it could be lots of things.

** Reponse: ** Well according to my experience... i can say i have been tempted to the folowing things: Porn, Masturbation, Fantacising, Lust. And fortunately i can easily supress any interest in porn and masturbation ** and i dont do it ...**... the other 2 temptations are a lot harder to beat. I wont say that i have never felt lust or that i have never fantacised however, i try my best to keep my head clear by viewing the person in a different light i.e. friend, sister, parent e.t.c ...

** last note: ** If u decide somthing e.g porn is immoral and hazardous than u wont feel any facination in it... thats the best way to keep away... turn off the tv, just walk away from that bookshelf, keep ur eyes low infront of that poster, dont look down on her legs or through the top e.t.c....

According to Freud, a strong super-ego serves to inhibit the biological instincts of the id, while a weak super-ego gives in to the id's urgings.
The levels of guilt in the two cases above will be high and low, respectively.

The best way to overcome a temptation is to succumb to it

only temptation i ever get is from a beautiful girl…
always found it difficult to stay away from them…
but alhamdolellah have finally managed myself to get out from it…

there is a temptation in everything... some find that in sexuality while some in spirituality, the former got excited even by looking at CD Jackets on the other hand there are people who get gratification by simple sajdas, crying in front of allah gives them enough pleasure.... so it highly depends where ones frame of mind is inclined.

NO TEMPTATION PLEASE, WE’RE INDIANS

FROM DEBASHIS BHATTACHARYYA

Mumbai, Jan. 17:
Writer Shobhaa De had asked India to get ready for adultery in the drawing room, but India — it appears — is not to be tempted.

Temptation Island will no longer be a part of the world of STAR.

Yashpal Khanna, senior vice-president of STAR, said the channel would not run the second part of the explicit American game show, slammed for “promoting” promiscuity. He said the first part, made up of nine episodes already telecast on STAR World, did not “go down well”.

The network, high on a commercial success brought on largely by Hindi soaps on joint families, has abandoned, too, its plan to broadcast an Indian version of the show on STAR Plus. It said an audience poll had overwhelmingly opposed it.

“Temptation Island is too western, something the Indian audience finds hard to digest. People here are far more conservative,” Khanna said.

With much fanfare, the network launched Temptation Island last November, billing it as the show “that shocked America”.

Rupert Murdoch’s STAR had clearly hoped the show would bring in money. STAR sources said the show had not lived up to the channel’s expectations.

Sameer Nair, STAR executive vice-president (programming), said they never expected the show to be a hit with the masses like Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati. He said it was meant for “a niche audience” and did well in that segment.

Temptation Island, a Fox TV production, explores the fidelity or infidelity, depending on the way you look at it, of couples separated from each other on a Pacific island.

It shows beautiful men and women in skimpy dresses cheating on each other and indulging in orgies that even many American viewers found not only distasteful but also “outrageous”.

A sizeable section of the audience, on the contrary, saw nothing wrong with the show, which, they said, was aimed at bringing adultery, a taboo in Indian society, out of the closet. In a December article, Shobhaa De had said adultery was as much a fact of Indian life as it was in the West.

Khanna said STAR World had telecast all the episodes of the game show’s first part in the last two months. “But we have decided against going in for the second part that Fox TV is doing in the US for obvious reasons.”

He said the Indian audience “rejected outright” the channel’s plan to air an Indian version. “More than 70 per cent of those we had polled said they did not want it.” It also faced “practical problems” while flirting with the idea of an Indian version.

“The main problem was how to do it, I mean, how do you get the couples to cheat on each other and do what they did in the US. It’s something not workable in our country,” Khanna said. He was talking about television, of course, not real life.

STAR officials, denying any political pressures behind the decision to drop the show, said they did not want to court controversy over an Indian version at a time when the channel had come out on top.

Something else other than temptations …

Do you know about 2 dutch muslim gentelmen who were mercilessly killed by indian occupying forces in Kashmir recently ??Were they of Pakistani descent? there last names wereDutch ,i forget for now .May be they were 1/2 dutch & pakistani …thanks

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I’ve lost all con-trol

Temptation!
Temptation!

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I’ve lost all control

Temptation!
It never lets me down
Temptation!
One foot in the ground!

We exist in a world where the fear of
Illusion is real
And we cling to the past and deny and confuse
The Ideal
Once inside, we conceive and believe in a god
We can’t feel!

I can’t feel it!
I can’t feel it!
I can’t feel..

Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
I’m laughing as the lies unfold
I’ve lost all control

Temptation!
It never lets me down
Temptation!
One foot in the ground
Temptation!
You satisfy my soul
Tempation!
I’ve lost all control

That was by Tea Party which basically describes our Primal urge to give in.

Its a rage, an adrenaline rush an overpower of feeling thats so good but is very bad.

The gratification of succumbing to temptation opens flood gates. You feel alive! You feel blood rushing, heart pounding, veins gushing faster. AAAH! Its a rush. I can never say no to racing. Its extremely hard for me to resist when someone is in the car. I have to bite my tongue at times just to let it go! Thats one damn temptation which CAN kill me.

The consequences lie there in front of me yet I choose to speed, beat the light, dodge cars. I know I can get a ticket, get into an accident but the rage takes over telling me WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO L

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/devil.gif

SE! PLAY YOUR GAME!!

Its exhillirating to fulfill a temptation. Very much so, it is! To resist it is like killing myself to rise that I will try it AGAIN another time another place another vengence possibly with deadly consequences!

There are always consequences but we are all human to give into it atleast once.


Jitna Diya Sarkar Nay Mujko, Itni Meri Auqat Nahi, Yeh Saab Tumhara Karam Hai Aqa, Mujh Mein Aisi Koi Baat Nahin.

Love happens once . . .

LOSING is always easy,comfy & EFFORTLESS…hence seductive attractive & PLEASING

BUT

once you taste the victory of overcoming

triumph of will over desire

& abstinence for time being..ITY ALSO FEELS GREAT like being truimphant & JUBILANT

NO BODY EXPECTS PERMANENT DENIAL ABSTINENECE OR DENIAL but work it out in your life with other priorities even if consequence of yOur adventure may be only psychological…

Shno & Dutch Pakistani

Thank You .It helps to know b/c i am writing to Home Ministry India About the pre meditated MURDER it was ....Thuis ties into rather issue of Atroceties of Indian Army who made it look like an ENCOUNTER a very common way to lEGITIMATELY MURDER MUJAHDEEN KASHMIRIS ....This case those Dutch were with VALID tourist Visa ....And they never had any weapon why would theyu make mistake except may be they knew they were muslims by external manners etc.

Any way i am sure this case is important atleast proving the hypotheses that indian army does MURDER by calling ENCOUNTER such blatant merciless killings...
