Asceticism is just "training," the training of our souls and bodies to be like Christ, so that we win the crown of eternal glory in Heaven. It is the solution, and should be practiced. Everyone can start today by eating a little less, spending a little less pleasure time on the net, and taking a slightly less warm shower. Jesus Christ was an ascetic, mainly for our example, so were the Disciples after His ascension (He said they would fast after it), and all the Church greats and Saints.
