^^ You have a point.

I think Lent is a good period for (a) reflection on the Person of Jesus and what He did and sacrificed for mankind; (b) introspection --- to look within and realise our own shortcomings with resolve to do better; (c) self-denial ---- ourselves to make at least symbolic sacrifice of denying ourselves some of our luxuries or usual 'stuff'; and (d) charity ---- to think about others and make it more a point to help where possible/feasible.
