Temptation.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to bottle it up and let it fester and fester and fester until one day your grandma asks you to pass the potatoes and you scream, “NO GRANDMAMA, YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN F— POTATOES WITH THESE F— KNIVES THAT I’M GONNA F— THROW AT YOU.” (Gandhi, pre-bullet)
