Indulgence

Don’t get me wrong. Delayed gratification is important. Most of the time it is better to not indulge your impulses so that you can get a greater reward later. This ability to delay your gratification is the hallmark of mature reasoning. But that doesn’t mean that you should never indulge. After all, all work and no play makes us all pretty dull indeed. The trick is to choose your indulgences wisely. And for god’s sake - don’t ruin a perfectly good indulgence with guilt. If you’re going to do it - you may as well enjoy it.
