The hornet in a jar

Urges are a lot like a hornet in a jar. When temptations arise it is like someone grabs the jar and shakes it causing the hornet to go mad. The more the jar is shaken the more violent the hornet gets. If you let the jar sit the hornet will eventually return to a state of calmness. If you open the jar, that is when injury is inflicted and a whole world of pain is unleashed.
