Self-indulgence

My doggy-stoical persona says "self-indulgence is a flat impossibility: the self is created and sustained in self-discipline and is corroded and dissolved in self-indulgence". But that inner Diogenes isn't quite right. Indulgence does create a self, of course; just not the same self as discipline, and just not the self you necessarily want.
