To resist a temptation you have to have it in the first place; people who don't have certain temptations don't really get to judge those who didn't resist theirs.

And then there is the fact that "temptation" and "aspiration" are both equally valid to describe anything depending on your personal moral compass. For example, how is being indignated about "criminal vandalism" that nobody directly affected seems to be quite as upset about not a temptation, too?
