IRRESISTIBLE
An ant drowning in a bowl of sweetened water scrambles desperately out of its clinging sugariness. Hardly are its little feet dry when it again makes for the bowl -its sweetness is irresistible.
Man drifts in the current of self-indulgence till he runs into the rocks of some crushing disaster. For a while he turns his face away from the pleasures once so dear to him. But as time heals his wounds, he immerses himself once again in the swift current of self-indulgence, wrecklessly heading for the rugged rocks that will break him to pieces.
