Description

“I can resist anything except temptation.” ― Oscar Wilde The picture of the demonic seducer has existed since the Old Babylonian time. Herodias, Potifars wife and Delila are a few examples from the bible, as well as other examples like Pandora, Helena, Circe and the sirens from Greek mythology. The sweet irrationality and the thirst for adventure is what makes the temptation so attractive, even if we can be aware that the dedication to a temptation will not lead to a good end. At the moment of temptation, however, it feels like you`re in an exhilaration which turns off the sense of reason. The hope, the faith and the interest in getting affection has an effect like opium. "The devil is the father of lies. Often he hides his traps behind the appearance of the cultivation, behind the temptation, to be "modern" and "like everyone else". He distracts us with the bait of short-lived pleasure, superficial pastime "- Pope Francis 1/1 3000 x 3000 px
