Pleasure and happiness
June 23rd, 2008
hi Volker, good morning! Hope your weekend was great and full of meaningful pleasures. I also hope your resting time served to refil your energies and determination to reach the top of the hill.
Sometimes we use our problems as steps to achieve our goals in life, but another times those same steps are used as obstacles and difficulties to reach there.
Shantideva says:
And being overjoyed by meaningless pleasure.
Not finding happiness, they suffer; and in striving to fulfil their wishes
They quarrel, fight, and hurt each other with weapons.
Thus, they consume their lives in the commission of non-virtue.
What do you think?
L&K
