Exotic. Human. Novelty. Attractive. Attention-drawing.
Nothing is love but love. Many things are interesting, fascinating, rare. None of them are suited to sustaining life here in the Wild.
Lots of self flagellation over being distracted by these things over and over. They were not by themselves. For every time someone said, "turn from sin" there were as many or more who said "turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face. And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."
I guess it took time and circumstance to point out that there was only one fountain.
It is not the last cigarette. It is the first free breath.
