I like your approach, TryingToMoveForward. Even though I wouldn't recommend going to the extreme of removing everything enjoyable and pleasurable from your life, I think that it can be immensely beneficial for others and for ourselves to take a good, hard look at the things that we're doing to make sure that what we're doing is in line with what we value. Evaluating our patterns, our habits, and the ways in which we approach life can be a good first step toward making the world a better place.
