Summary

This quote suggests that chastity, which typically refers to abstaining from sexual activity, is not necessarily a virtue. It implies that society might one day recognize that suppressing one's sexual desires or restricting sexual experiences is not inherently virtuous but rather akin to the harmful concept of malnutrition. The quote invites reconsideration of traditional beliefs about sexual behavior and highlights the potential for a shift in societal values when it comes to understanding and embracing human sexuality.

A source of bad conscience, however, is the knowledge that my way of life, austere though it may appear to the richer folk, is still ruinously exploitive of nature -- not in my backyard, where I practice harmlessness toward even the wasps, but in the atmosphere, where my fossil fuel combustion's carbon dioxide is helping change the climate; in all those mountainous places where the metals and minerals that structure and drive my American life are torn from the earth; and in the flesh of fish and birds, mammals, and reptiles, where the chemicals that made the paper and plastic I use bioaccumulate, deforming reproduction. That guilty knowledge is another argument for material simplicity. The less I consume, the less harm I do to that which I love. In a consumer society, harmless living may be simple, but it is not easy. I make no claim to exemplary harmlessness or simplicity.
