Treat Your Body With Respect
A person is composed of a physical body that houses a divine soul. The body is thus a temple that contains the Divine, and as such should be accorded its due honor. Just as it is forbidden to injure the body of another person, it is forbidden to injure ourselves. It is forbidden to introduce harmful chemicals that ruin or deface the body. The body is a sacred object that must be accorded due reverence. Just as sobriety restores respect for the body so that we no longer deface it, it must also restore the dignity of the body's actions. And our behavior must reflect the sanctity of the human being.
