Summary

This quote highlights the dangers and consequences of indulging in sinful and forbidden pleasures. It compares these pleasures to poisoned bread, suggesting that while they may temporarily satisfy our desires or appetites, they ultimately bring harm and destruction. Just as eating poisoned bread may provide immediate satisfaction but can lead to death, partaking in sinful pleasures offers short-term gratification but leads to negative outcomes in the long run. It serves as a warning against the allure of instant gratification and the importance of choosing actions that bring lasting fulfillment and well-being.
