At least initially, the Buddha praised few things as much as ``living restrained''.
While most people would agree that that would be a rather wholesome thing to do, few are WILLING to do that deep down.
Restraint always has a kind of negative connotation and many would say that they associate it more with suffering than anything else.
Yet, the Suttas speak of the ``pleasure of blamelessness'', ``non-remorse'' and other pleasant qualities that are the direct result of restraint and virtue.
So, is restraint really something exclusively painful?
Most people practice blind restraint that does not lead to joy or liberation.
Yet, the practice can only work with the right kind of relief and joy.
If you experience none of that, your practice is either very early or wrong.
Patience is one of the highest virtues in the practice.
Just like in the simile of the hen and the eggs, the results must come if you stick to the right practice.
