Doing the "right" thing is not always about suffering or depriving oneself.

I am firmly in the "If I can do the right thing and still sit on my yacht sipping drinks, I will" camp. I don't know about you.

And yes, sometimes it means taking a route that is gratifying, but not immediately while everyone else is running around having their fun.

Anyone who is depriving themselves and making a point of using it to gain higher moral ground has their own issues.

Good post.
