We are tempted every day of life, some by food, material things, or other pleasures. Even as far back as Biblical times, mankind was given a set of rules with stipulations decreeing that we were not to fall prey to the evils of temptation. Does, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, his ox, his ass, or his wife,” But why are we tempted, why can’t we be satisfied with what we have? Why do we want more, more, more, and especially what does not belong to us?
