SE- (apart, away from) SEN- (old)...the suggestions of the few represents the "old", while the consent of the many represents the "young". Consenting to suggested senators (old), draws the consent (young) apart/away from you.
Instead...grow resistance by adapting to perceivable (fountain of youth) while letting suggested temptations (old) die. Ones consent keeps the suggestions of others alive.
By sharing this story with others, are you saying that I am therefore consenting for this to happen?
a) consent implies ones choice of want (suggested) over need (perceivable). Only suggestion tempts consents, while perception demands adaptation. You don't need to consent to what others are offering...you are being tempted to want or not want to.
b) AA suggests a SPONSOR, noun [Latin] - a surety; one who binds himself to answer for another and is responsible for his default". Why? To tempt one to ignore being the perceiving response-ability (free will of choice) within perceivable need.
c) contemplate the following...the outer jew suggests one to destroy self; the inner jew tempts one to consent. The more one ignores the inner jew, the stronger the outer jew becomes.
Am I promoting the suggested temptations (old) vs growing resistance by adapting to the fountain of youth?
Alcohol represents suggested want vs not want temptation...thirst represents perceivable need. Do you need suggested alcohol to quench perceivable thirst? You don't need others to answer this, you need to struggle with the temptation to seek suggested answers from others, which will a) never quench your thirst; b) always tempt you to want more from them, which c) empowers others to exploit your lack of resistance by suggesting you both what you want and not want.
The few operate vineyards, because they comprehend that the effort it takes to make wine keeps one from the temptation to drown oneself with it...contemplate that metaphor for being the resistance (living) within the temptation (process of dying).
Alcohol isn't the issue, lack of self discernment is...the more you choose want (alcohol), the less you comprehend about need (thirst). Look at how Islam utilizes fasting to teach the need of hunger within the want of appetite...the more one resists appetite, the stronger ones resistance within hunger becomes, and of course what could taste better than the first bite to still hunger?
All addictions represent wanting more (suggested) than need (perceivable) offers...which tempts one to ignore that perceivable offers everything, while suggestion represents nothing.
