Question:It depends on how much you are willing to learn about yourself.
Some will fight temptation of even the most basic of desires just to make a point even if it is only for themselves, others give it up early and admit that they do not truly wish to be the master of their desires.

Don`t fight a tempation. Think like Oscar Wilde said:
I can resist anything, but not a temptation.

Temptation is always around, but there are many things that will not lead to a good outcome if you do them. If you're tempted to do one of those things, yes, there is a point in fighting it.

Yes, it helps you to grow and find out more important things that you care about.

Only if it will bring real harm to you.

It's like fighting the air or a phantom. Only truth exists.

the only reason to fight a temptation is if it is going to hurt anyone or anything in anyway what-so-ever.

Yes, there is.
