Chachaman OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 211 Karma: 10	I think it's because we don't actually want it. We want the fantasy, but we really don't want the fantasy to become a reality, because we all know that lifestyle produces extreme unhappiness. So why live in a fantasy of an unhappy reality? Btw, who wants Lord of the Rings to be reality? I like my reality much better!

Dov OFFLINE Administrator Baby-steps; Easy does it. Posts: 1919 Karma: 357	Anyone want a face-off/fun competition/just a friendly melee/argument....fun thing....on LOTR trivia? I have the books pretty down-like, sorta. (OK, so it has nothing to do w/not acting out for 90,000 reasons, but it's fun!)
	Admin put these lines here cuz he likes 'em: "The heart needs to be broken when will-power is not enough" "Get off the 18-Wheeler and onto a tricycle!" "The heck with me, what can I do for you?" "I do not particularly care exactly which "lav" suicide is. I'm not interested in it for other reasons!"

Imagine you were given 70 more years to live on the average life span. Wow! You gained 70 years!!!
What would you do with that time. If your answer to that question is to continue not to guard your eyes, then you've just answered another question: " Why should I stop doing this?"
Complete waste of time, pointless to live another 70 years or another 500 years.

And if you've decided to Guard your eyes then here is the best way to succeed:

"Seriously study Torah 2 hours a day" no excuses. (I heard this advice given to a working fellow by a well-known Rabbi)

snaping Current streak: 13 days OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Karma: 0	we have 2 options. 1)to feel good now by acting out on our lust and 2) to feel bad now for holding off. with regard to control; if we use option 1 we will feel good now but feel bad later and there is no way to stop feeling bad, it will just have to pass. if we use option 2 then we have the power to chose when we want to feel good. so we are more in control with option 2.
