Temptation

The path of temptation is twisting and badly lit.
It changes each time you walk it.
There is a trick to it.

Some will tell you not to walk the path at all for it is a dead end.
They are patially accurate and wholly wrong.
Some will tell you to walk the path but don't look in the doors.
These are boring and unhappy people who will die alone.
Some will tell you to look in the doors but do not enter them.
These people are sadists.
Some will tell you to rush in and take the bounty that is offered with no thought to the consequences.
These people will never see the end.
Some will tell you to pick only one door and hide it from others.
These people are the same people as the ones above but lie about it.

If you get to the end of the path there is a mirror.
Some will say it is to shame you.
Some will say it is to remind you.
Some will say it is to teach you.
Some will say it is not a mirror at all, but a portrait titled "God at Play."
