Giving In to Temptations Can easily Damage Your Life

Although existence to some extent has gotten much better with developments in technologies over the past few years in a way we now have taken steps backward also, now we have the internet obtainable to us 24/7 which provides for us entry to a wide range of entertainment that we did not have years ago. Television sets have gotten larger and we are able to gain access to R rated films with the click of a button, video games have taken off in a huge way and children are now running around in their virtual world brandishing guns, knives, bombs and going on killing sprees in very gory detail.



Each day the newspapers splash head lines of murders, robbery and rapes but is there any question when we are continuously bombarded and tempted with movies, games and some of the things the World Wide Web has to provide.



Sure we are able to select to not watch the films, not to play the games or to delve into the seedier parts of the World Wide Web, but the attraction is there and not everyone can resist, we all know that temptation is just that, if we think we shouldn't do something then we cannot resist doing it or taking a peek, if nothing else but out of curiosity. But does it harm us, can what we look at or do really influence us in our decisions in life, some of course claim that yes it does, being continually bombarded with violence and sex can transform how we think and feel so the chance of it gradually beginning to impact our thoughts, feelings and actions is extremely likely.



If violence is portrayed as being fun in video games then aren't kids getting the wrong concept? When younger people, especially girls, see size 0 women parading on the catwalk are they going to eat that healthy balanced meal that you put in front of them or are they going to nibble on a lettuce leaf to shed yet much more weight?



The web permits us to parade our lives for all the world to see by way of blogs and chat rooms, would we leave our front door wide open and encourage strangers to walk in off the street? Only a fool would do that yet we permit not only our children unrestricted access to the net but we also do it ourselves. We write blogs, fill in profiles, post photos of ourselves and where we reside, we even place our phone number down on the profile occasionally, while there are lots of great uses of the internet for example bringing families and loved ones closer together, it can also be used by the spider cunningly faking, just sitting and waiting to draw some unsuspecting person deeper into their web of lies and deceit and then when all appears well, will strike with sometimes deadly force. Advancements in technology aren't bad, its how these developments are used that's the problem and the kind of person we can turn out to be from using them constantly, we now have to steer clear of temptation if we are to live a better life in the future.
