What you don't seem to understand is that most people can't make themselves see far enough into the future to deny satisfaction. That's not a weakness, that's normal. The ability to see beyond that and delay gratification is a _strength_. It's something that irks me about people who are gifted with a lot of will power is that they (myself included when I was younger) assumed that people who didn't possess their traits were weak; they're not weak, you're just gifted. I've worked for everything that I have (and I'm not doing too shabby) but I won't pretend for a moment that my position in life isn't due to happenstance of genetics. I can delay gratification, many people can't and that makes me lucky.
