To seek pleasure

The problem with pleasure is that it can only distract us from sorrow, despair, and ultimately, ourselves and our thoughts and feelings.

Pleasure is fleeting. It’s a distraction at best. And to chase it will not solve the big problems life throws at us. Not that I’m anti-pleasure. But we can’t use it as a crutch. A space of unhappiness cannot be filled with pleasure to reach a state of happiness (or peace, for that matter)
