There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than jealousy.
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one's own well-being.

Love & kindness have far greater influence than punishment upon the improvement of human character.
