Summary
This quote suggests that self-denial, contrary to popular belief, can be seen as a form of indulgence. It implies that there is a hidden inclination within oneself to intentionally give up or restrain from certain desires or actions, and this act of restraining oneself brings about a sense of satisfaction or enjoyment. In other words, by choosing to forgo indulgence in certain things, one may experience a deeper fulfillment or pleasure in exercising self-control.
