This Drove the First Man Out Of Paradise

If you merely repress a temptation or this first motion of sin within you, it will probably come up again more strongly. To that extent I agree with the modern psychologist, repression is always bad. `Well what do you do?' asks someone. I answer, `When you feel that first motion of sin, just pull yourself up and say, 'Of course, I am not having any dealings with this at all.' Expose the thing and say, 'This is evil, this is vileness, this is the thing that drove the first man out of paradise', pull it out, look at it, denounce it, hate it for what it is, then you've really dealt with it'. 

You must not merely push it back in a spirit of fear or in a timorous manner. Bring it out, expose it, analyze it, then denounce it for what it is until you hate it.
