The ideal way for a person to acquire abstinence is to examine the inferior nature of the pleasures of this world, their insignificance, and the serious ills that are likely to emerge from them.
- the beginning of chapter 15 Misilis Yesharim
- Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzatto
Pesach was a time of stark contrasts. As hard as it was to stay abstinent, the benefits were extremely clear. I walked to Shul, up and down a big hill, and it was easy. I feel like a whole new world is opening up as my physical abilities improve. I could get down on the floor and play with my grandchildren, and even get up again without to much difficulty. Overeating is a serious issue for many on Pesach, and as I emerge from the Yom Tov feeling healthy and good, and I listen to others complain about the misery of overindulging, I am extremely grateful for my abstinence.
