Is there something that brings you the most joy? Have you reached the pinnacle of joy from pleasures attained or from those given? Or, are you someone who is constantly seeking pleasure – from people, from partners, or from things?
Is life something to please us, or challenge us? I believe that it is there to please us when we try to find those few pleasures, and it is there mostly to challenge us to be our best people – representatives of God. We are tasked to be our most excellent person in the face of those who don’t know God, or even those who openly defy him. We are representatives of the faith, in our every day actions, and behavior. It is important to show love to our fellow companions and be skeptical of those who try to lie and cheat us.
Pleasure is the one thing that keeps us coming back. Pleasure can be attained or it can be given; whether it is something we have or don’t have, pleasure is essential in life. Life cannot run without constant pleasure – because it is full of so much misery. Pleasure is what makes us leave our homes and work. We want to afford necessities and we also want to give ourselves those pleasures to keep going. Pleasure should not be underestimated. Indulge!
