"The woods are lonely, dark, and deep
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep." -Robert Frost
This quote symbolizes the Resistance. The resistance to fall down on your knees to temptation. Anyone and everyone has met with a choice to give in or not to give in. What choice will you make? To go out to eat with friends or stay in and study? To take that dream vacation or save the $? To give in and take drugs your boyfriend is forcing you to take, or leave it and leave him in the process? One needs to ponder before they wonder. Is it worth it? Should I give in? Think about what is at stake, what is beneficial, and what will do harm to you in the long run and even the short run. Temptation can be ghastly and futile. It is a human flaw to give in, and sometimes that's okay. You can fall out of temptation just as easily as you fell in. But it takes time, courage, support from others, the ones you love and who love you back. But there is also a choice not to fall in the first place. No one wants to do anything that can harm them or their loved ones. No one wakes up and says, "I'm going to give in. I'm going to not resist. I'm just going to go for it." No one wants to see it as giving in, giving up, losing the strength to stay away, but it happens. But just think that you might have promises to keep as well, and it's just not that right time for you to sleep.
