Overindulgence
Why do all people not have the normal physiological endpoint to limit their drives? Perhaps because there is one drive that does not have an endpoint -- the drive for spiritual growth. Some try to quell their spiritual craving by indulging in food, alcohol, drugs, sex or riches. None of these can begin to fill the spiritual void. A recovering person said, When I stopped drinking, I discovered a void within me, and that was where God belonged. All indulgences are inappropriate. Growing in spirituality can give us the satisfaction we crave, and allow us to avoid the diseases of indulgence.
