That is, unless you say that right and ethics depend on religión. And even the simple things in life provide the opportunity to over-indulge an appetite, by a variety of criteria-not only spiritual. | |

| Apr 4, 2020 at 2:03 | comment | added | detuur | I don't think this fits the definition. "Debauchery" is mainly used in contexts where the sheer excess of the self-indulgence is looked down upon. In these contexts, the excesses are usually also closely linked to great wealth and expenditure, to the point that I've never seen a poor person being accused of debauchery. Debauchery also does not necessarily imply an abandonment of spiritual concerns, which is what I believe OP is mostly looking for. | |
