Nothing is to be gained by denying oneself pleasure. However, the encouragement of indulgence does not equate to mindless submersion into pleasures. Sometimes restraint leads to heightened enjoyment later—in which case patience and discipline are encouraged. Indulgence requires one to always be in control. If satisfying a desire becomes a compulsion (such as with an addiction), then control has been surrendered to the object of desire, and this is never encouraged.
Reality and existence are sacred, and the truth of that existence is to be honored and sought at all times and never sacrificed for a comforting lie or an unverified claim one cannot bother to investigate.
There is nothing that encourages wanton cruelty or unkindness. There is nothing productive in that, but it is also unproductive to waste your energy on people who will not appreciate or reciprocate your kindness. Treat others as they treat you will form meaningful and productive bonds, but let parasites know that you will not waste your time with them.
Leaving wrongs unpunished merely encourages miscreants to continue preying on others. Those who do not stand up for themselves end up being trampled. <span style="background-color: transparent;">This is not however, an encouragement for misbehavior. Becoming a bully in the name of vengeance is not only dishonest, but it also invites others to bring retribution on you. The same goes for performing illegal actions of retribution: break the law and you yourself become the miscreant that the law should come down on swiftly and harshly.</span>
