No Restrictions
All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor. Ecclesiastes 2:10 Who doesn't want to live like that? Who doesn't want to live without any restrictions…
