How to use «Temptation» in context?

Temptation is an ever present force that tries to pull us in opposite directions. It’s the voice in our heads that tells us to do something that we know is wrong. But what is temptation really? In short, temptation is anything that makes us want something that we know is bad for us. It’s the reason why we get sucked into bad relationships, give in to our cravings for junk food, and succumb to social media addictions. But temptation is also a powerful teacher. It shows us what is bad for us, and how we can overcome our weaknesses. It can even lead us to find true happiness.
