Card #c575IR // #c575Synthesis
The adversary that keeps you enslaved doesn't attack with force; it lays out attractive 'foods' and wants you to 'taste only a little' — because once you take a single one, 'it is indeed necessary for us to desire the rest.' The trap is the first taste, not the last. And the most effective baits aren't obvious vices but 'ignorance and ease.' Identify the hook that follows any tempting first taste, and treat the first bite as the point of no return.
