Don’t Get Angry at Your Weaknesses
Let’s get something straight, we
all have weaknesses. So why do we get mad at our weaknesses? I used to get
irritated any time I felt vulnerable to temptation. I worked so hard to
control my thoughts that I was trying to be something other than human.
Human beings have feelings and weaknesses. I was wrong in my thought that
so long as I had weaknesses I was doing bad. I really had to change the
way I looked at things before I could appreciate feelings and urges of the
body.
Over time I have learned that the body is a wonderful
creation and brings much joy and happiness when used properly. Misusing it
can bring misery. When I was struggling with pornography and other
addictions I really didn’t understand this. I just wanted to stop having
feelings. I really thought the solution would be some type of drug that
would just take sexual urges away. I did a lot of research in this area
and learned a lot about the body. I even tried a few herbs to see if I
could curb my sex drive. Well, there were noticeable effects but I also
had the side effect of depression. I could see that interfering with the
body’s certainly had negative side effects.
Today I don’t try to
avoid or get angry at the urges of the body. In fact, if I see a beautiful
woman walking down the street and it makes me feel good I just say to
myself, “That’s great, she is beautiful, my body must be working
properly.” Then I quickly move on in my thoughts to something else. See,
its ok to feel good and attracted to the opposite sex. You’re supposed to
be. But unless it is your wife you need not dwell on these thoughts. By
the way, the longer you abstain from pornography or masturbation, the more
sensitive you will become to beauty. This is great, it means your body is
returning back to normal.
Remember, getting mad because you are vulnerable to temptation or have a weakness is counterproductive. These negative feelings will fuel the fire of porn addiction. The quicker you accept and adapt to your weaknesses the better. Having to set boundaries and live life to avoid people or situations you know you would be weak around is nothing to be ashamed of. You’re doing what most people are not willing to do. Weakness, if you work to be better, will ultimately make you stronger in character than you were before. Take joy in the fact that you recognize your weaknesses and your body still works. See this as an opportunity to learn and grow and you will.
A word of warning. Free porn is not really free. Rather it is a hook that could lead to self destruction.
