Please read what I wrote and speak to that, Joe. I didn't say that abnegation is a necessary practice; however, it is a fact -- not a belief, not dogma, not doctrine -- that you can't have some things without giving up other things. Many people nowadays want to believe that that's not true, but not liking the truth doesn't make it false.
