Prevent Suffering


From the Sefer "Misilat Yesharim" by Rabbi Moshe Chayim Luzzato p.94


Even more at risk is a person who has acustomed himself to be satiated through eating and drinking. If he just once lacks what he is used to he will suffer and will be keenly aware of his deprivation.


We see from this that while we control ourselves it is difficult, we are really helping ourselves in the long run.
