"欲望の抑制は人格の背景である。"
— John Locke

Simplified Meaning:
When you learn to control your wants and wishes, it helps shape who you are as a person. Imagine someone who really wants to buy a lot of new clothes every month, but instead, they choose to save money for their future. This act of holding back and being smart with their money shows they are responsible and think long-term. Actions like this build good habits and help form a strong, reliable character. In everyday life, if you practice patience and self-control, like studying instead of playing games when you need to, you end up growing into a more disciplined and trustworthy individual. So, managing what you desire, rather than letting your desires control you, leads to personal growth and a solid, respectable character.
