(A snail that tastes or ingests salt is, in effect, hastening its own death.)

Our relentless pursuit of pleasure can sometimes backfire and hurt us. Truth be told, some pleasures are poison in disguise. What one craves can be what kills one. Indeed, not every appetite deserves to be fed, as self-destruction often begins with a taste.The path to ruin is sweet at the first step. In all that we do, eat or drink, eternal vigilance is the price of life and liberty. To know this is to know enduring peace.
