"A self-indulgent person is bad because their principles are flawed. They think pleasure is the highest good. An incontinent person, however, still has good principles; they just struggle to follow them. That’s why incontinence, though bad, is not as bad as self-indulgence."

-The Nichomachean Ethics - For Everyone, Aristotle, Kindle Edition, pg. 120
