There is a great deal of value in abstention, whether in thought or action, most particularly if it is done unreservedly and without motivation. The arguments for or against any form of self fullness or indulgences are inevitably one-sided. The scales are always weighted on the side of self-indulgence.

Holiness (or Wholiness) is self-evident. There is nothing comparable to it. Cause and effect are one. The value of abstention is in the act of abstaining not in the justification of it. All acts are self- justifying.
