Animals are driven purely by instinct.
Whatever impulse arises, they act on it.
Hungry,
they eat. A cow sees another cow, a
horse sees another horse.
Their behavior follows instinct alone.
But when a human being says,
"I have self-control.
Yes, I am human. I have urges, I have a
body. I have desires,
but I can restrain them."
King Solomon says,
"You do not lose from this.
The pleasure,
the sweetness you feel afterward,
the sense of dignity, of inner elevation
is far greater.
The soul,
the spiritual part of a person,
experiences deep satisfaction.
