Guilty Pleasures

Whether it’s behind closed doors, or submerged in a web of lies, people succumb to guilty pleasures in innocent ways, more often than they realize. But we comfort ourselves by insisting that maybe it’s not so wrong, after all. It’s as if we plant the seeds of the forbidden fruit, knowing we can’t reap the fruit of our labor, in all its succulent glory. But we water it regardless, in hopes no one will see the tree grow. And even then, one bite just leaves you hungry for more.

It’s like the proverb of the tree in the forest… if no one knows, does that make you innocent until proven guilty?
