Takeaways:

• consumption vs. appreciation: You don’t want to consume only for consumption’s sake. Instead, pay attention and try to experience things.
• self-restraint vs. entitlement: Self-restraint is what makes entitlement possible. By constantly insisting on pushing the boundaries of your freedom, you damage the foundation of it. More generally, what you are allowed to do is a bad guide on what you ought to do.

The part on self-restraint and entitlement can also be flipped around: On a societal level, it is neither possible nor desirable to mandate good behavior.
