Want to know how Aristotle would describe your character? Eat dessert.

If you were trying to maintain a low-sugar diet, Aristotle would not judge you by the decadence of the dessert but by the amount of guilt you felt afterward. If you believed you deserved the treat, or simply ate it because you wanted to, he would call you self-indulgent. If you felt guilty—you just couldn’t help scarfing down that whole gooey mess—then Aristotle would say you were “incontinent.”
