  1. Yes, however people need temptation.

    Without it, I wouldn't consider it "living".


  2. Without temptation how can we live life to the fullest?

  3. No. It is human nature to covet things and have basic urges such as lust. One can control one's behavior but temptation is part of being a person.  

  4. Temptation only exists in the mind. Control the mind, you control temptation.

  5. Should the question not be: Can temptation be eradicated from our lives SO THAT we can live a pure life? For,if you ARE  pure, what taint, what blemish, remains to be eradicated? What purity will it be that still needs anything to be eradicated?

  6. Yeah Buddhist monks are pretty d**n close, but it is still there.

  7. I think the Buddhist monks have gotten the closest to it, but no.

  8. Temptation is not an internal variable that you can control, so it is impossible to eradicate temptation from our lives. You can't remove the stimulus you receive from your environment. A beautiful woman lying naked before you will always exhibit temptation and arouse hormones in your body and trigger synapses in your brain. What you can do is strengthen your resolve and build a resistance and/or indifference to the temptations around you.

  9. We are not supposed to live our life pure, that is how we learn , by our mistakes.  

  10. I DONT THINK SO, NOT AT THIS TIME.

  11. I would say YES! What do you think must happen with the NUNS? Or even the Priests?  One of the biggest temptations must be taken away... I think the majority of them serve their life in this fashion.

    I think it is much harder for the regular population of people who are bombarded with images, influences, and the society in general.  

    Thanks for reading!
