self indulgence will kill us...


Self Indulgence

 

… often comes from some past unmet needs, but abides in filling bottomless voids…

 

… originates and stays within self…

 

… ranges from the arrogant to the neurotic and even the desperate…

 

… cannot see the good in delayed gratification, self-control or sacrifice…

 

… gladly trades long-term success, fulfillment and health for momentary pleasure…

 

… routinely sacrifices deep, abiding joy for fleeting happiness…

 

… can be amusing to others, especially those like-minded, for a time, until some deeper need goes unfulfilled because of the self indulgent in their lives…

 

… masks, delays, ignores inevitable truths that one must face, often complicating the difficulty of those truths when one finally does face them…

 

… eventually represents a losing battle with others and within oneself because the sources of pleasure, no matter how they are elevated, cannot bring deep, abiding joy in life for anyone…
