^Duty ^Forgo ^Tempt ^Tease ~medicine~ ~sacrifice~ ~temptation~ ~naughty~

1. ^Inspire to ^Act or ^Choose against our ~mind~ or its ~foundation~ in ~one-another~. 
   1. ^Trust to ^Hold it ^Alone or ^Share it only for sake of ~self~. 
   2. ^Notice ^More of ^What we ^Feel is ~naughty~, ~evil~ or ~sweet~. 
   3. ^Stop for ^Less of ^What we ^Think is ~good~, ~terrible~ or ~bitter~. 
2. ^Attach it to our ~progress~. 
   1. ^Try to ^Wait for ~more~ or without ~love~. 
   2. ^Seek a ~reward~ for its ^Own sake. 
   3. ^Move to ^Win-or-lose without ~respect~. 
3. ^Change or ^Contend for ^More distortion ^Such that we ^Depart from ~truth~, ~good~, ~family~ or ~love~. 

^Tempt is a mode of ^Agency that is a necessary ~evil~ in our ~journey~.  Often, ~temptation~ may ^Cause or ^Affect our current distortions and our ~ability~ to ^Navigate them.  Distortions and ~weakness~ ^Give ~strength~ to ~temptation~ and vice versa.  This may ^Come quite naturally sometimes, so it may ^Take ~patience~ and ~practice~ to ^Overcome. 

This ^Concept may ^Prove difficult to ^Manage and a ~restorer~ of it often must ^Join, ^Merge or ^Hide ~parts~ of our ~agency~.  Thereby we ^Win-or-lose our ~desire~ for it despite ourselves.  Yet in ~matter~ of ~fact~, we could ^Think of it ~as~ something we ^Choose. 

^When we have ^Three or ^More options then a ~temptation~ may ^Win-or-lose ^More easily with an ^Individually ^Strong ~signal~.  We may ^Refuse ~temptation~ or ^Swap it for ~daily-self-care~ ~as~ a ^First resort.  And then once we ^Refuse we can ^Mind to ^Choose ^Among the ~good~ only so that we may ^Block and (re-)^Direct the energy of it elsewhere. 

^When our ~memories~, ~presence~, ~view~ or ~gaze~ ^Persist the ~temptation~ and then we ^Divide or ^Ignore it so ~as~ to ^Forget it yet do not ^Leave it, we might ^Maximize its ~power~ even though our ~aim~ were to ^Forget it.  So in ~mirror~ of it, we may ^Train our ~memories~, ~presence~, ~view~ or ~gaze~ to ^Attach to the ~consequence~ of ~harm~ ^Rather than its ~reward~ or ~lack~, so we don't ^Deceive ourselves.  ^When we do so we ^Clarify the ~model~ of ~temptation~ in our ~mind~ and ^Receive ^Better ~results~ from it. 

We may ^Shift the ~focus~ to ~one~ of ~worry~ or ~doubt~ by ~virtue~ of the ^Big ~picture~.  Yet it is ^No ~harm~ to ^Ignore the ~hope~, ~belief~ or ~reward~ of it ^Now.  We can ^Search for a ^Better ~hope~ ^Rather than ^Sacrifice ourselves for sake of ~desire~. 

A necessary ~evil~ and unavoidable on our ~path~. 

We invite it ^When we ^Forget to ^Take ~care~ of ourselves and others. 

It may ^Come ^When we ^Forget about ~weakness~ or ~strength~ in ourselves and others. 

It may ^Cause us to ^Abuse or ^Neglect our ~mind~ or a ~foundation~ ^Where we ^Belong.
