Delay
Mastering urges via delayed gratification
It’s not really about denying pleasure
Or punishment
But attaining a higher form of self-actualization
Easily giving in into our whims and impulses
Reduces the bar of discipline and control
Because by the time a true reward is earned
The prize won’t be as satisfying
We live in a world where instant pleasure is the norm
Becoming numb and seeking for more
Edging closer to the realms of compulsion and addiction
And in a way losing a sense of freedom
By exercising this delay
Logic and anticipation helps build a steady discipline
Where achieving goals in the long term
Can lead to a life of fulfillment and happiness
