From the playful antics of young ground squirrels in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park of South Africa, to the historical restraint shown by William the Conqueror towards his soldiers from looting, the concept of restraint has been a recurring theme throughout history. Suffragettes bravely endured force-feeding, while Endara, a Haitian revolutionary, penned The Republic, advocating for self-restraint and unity. Mythology tells of Hercules' restraint in avenging his wife's infidelity, and the bitter draught America was forced to swallow in the form of hard truths. The ability to control one's actions, as depicted in The Able Doctor, or the struggle between good and evil, as seen in the Sacrifice of Isaac, are just a few the power of restraint. Even in the face of temptation, as with Nessus and Dejanira, or the betrayal of Judas towards Jesus, restraint can make all the difference.
