Building a deep "friendship" with your "self" can be deadly, since you're only going to be able to hear those "things" that pertain to its domain. Without questioning, any word of "hope" and "opportunity" will always look bright in your imagination. Do you know what I mean? Jesus knew, exactly, because what the devil was offering again was "life" in his world, his boat, "I have a woman for you, or many, for they're all under my control and I can give you them; all you need to do is be my friend". And He knew that meant spiritual death, which was the cause of physical death, so He'd rather be killed than accept to suicide.
If you're willing to lose your real Job, he can give you a new "job" to buy all the coats in the world.
He can give you any drink you want, except living Water.
