Temptation

I’ve been in a positive headspace recently. Which has allowed me to reinterpret and reanalyse various things.
Not that the facts have in anyway changed….
But I do have a habit of only positing a “negative” hypothesis to explain the facts.
I’ll admit that the “negative” might not have always been correct.
Now in the past things have always gone the same way….
Boy meets girl.
Boy and girl get friendly.
Girl runs and hides.
Seemingly overnight things change, from growing friendship to complete withdrawal.
My “negative” hypothesis was that this occurred when they realised I might have a thing for them, and that concept was so utterly repulsive that they had no choice but to flee.
But that might not be the case.
This morning while cleansing myself in the shower I had a minor epiphany.
Maybe they didn’t run away because they didn’t like me.
Maybe they ran away because they liked me too much.
Since they were all supposed to be good christian girls, maybe they couldn’t help but fantasise about me.
Maybe they were looking at me lustfully.
Maybe they were committing adultery in their hearts.
Maybe they were doing dirty things with themselves.
Maybe I was their temptation to sin, and they had to cut me off to avoid going to where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
I kinda like this theory….
Images lured away from here and here. Video snatched from the cradle….
