Ok so recently in my own living, thinking time I have been consider the intense amount of vices I have. Not all "bad" vices by any stretch of the imagination. I love going to starbucks and cop shows. In no way are those things bad, but they are both vices of mine, and they do get in the way of me accomplishing things. For instance watching hours of criminal minds...right at this moment. And via reading about the fruits of the spirt in Galatians (at the suggestion of my dear friend and roommate Paige) I have come to the conclusion that self control is just about the most important thing anyone can learn. Like, if you have the ability to control yourself and your actions, then you're basically set to accomplish what you want to in life. So umm, I'm guessing I'm saying that I also want to learn self control in the highest extent.
I think I agree. Self-control is one of those things you can never have too much of. Like wisdom.
I think you're being a bit too hard on yourself on vices though, I've always though of vices as something essentially derogatory.
Also, along with controlling myself, I've realized it's important to know what it is I try to control. I guess comprehension would be a better way to say it. I've worked myself up over things because I was trying to control something I didn't understand. Clarity and presence of mind are similar virtues.
