Great post Sam, thanks much. I like your explanation of the simplicity and the clear cut nature of the total abstinence decision. I had not thought about it like that before. Ome answer for every situation - not going to happen. Very powerful. Of all the great things you wrote however, this line really struck a chord
I can't really put my finger on it but its a kind of expectation of trying too feel content in life with little effort.
Wow does this hit home, in the same vein as the self responsibility message of RR. Good stuff to think on. Thanks for sharing.
