the 8th wonder is within looking at the scope of what one is able to discover, able to explore and capable of playing with if it is dangerous, or not to the soul. Temptation is often in the form of women, who will be condemned if the skill to resist the forbidden does not help the man get away safely. We create roles for each other, and for ourselves as havens to imagine we can go there and not be faced with the enormity of our desires, and the fires of the flesh. It is very difficult being a principled man. Your principles are attractive, and the flesh needs to eat and consume what can drive it towards heights the imaginations and visions say you can ascend to, and pussy and being held so easily places one beyond his circumstances and the state of his affairs. 


Words have always been allies. So, one cannot look down upon the poor soul who is reciting holy scriptures, whose brow is beaded with sweat and he is threatening to cave into the seduction of She who invites him in. Many do, and would laugh at so desperate a measure ignoring the fact and power of words, and their capabilities to build and design our circumstances. We can create the impossible scenario, and create a positive exit plan with strategies that won't stir degrading feelings within the woman we know we cannot and should not bed. Seduction begins where it appears it did not come from. Seduction moves two directions in the same moment, and seduction comes from beyond where we speak from and into existence. Seduction doesn't simply come at the sight of a woman's bottom swallowing a white thong. It comes from desires, and needs to feel powerful.
