Is a life of pleasure a life well lived?

Endless consuming; owning the latest gadgets; excess food, drink, and entertainment; vacations.

Surely there's more to life than this

My Direct Experience =



Pleasure Seeking = Emptiness + Pain

( Short Term: Sugar-Rush | Long Term: "Uggghhh!" )



Answer I Have So Far =

Absolute Seeking + Living of Truth




( Short Term: "pain" + "discomfort" | Long Term: Peace, Love, Power, Love)

( Takes what it takes and continued to lead me to an ever-greater state so far)



Quotations around "pain" + "discomfort" because these bull****, dandy-boy concepts in themselves are false.

All only exists cause (I/You) Allow It To Exist.

0 reason to enforce weakening concepts on oneself. LOL

etc. etc.




Dead Serious my brothers.

We All Know Exactly What We Should (Do /Stop Doing) This Moment.

Follow That Sequence All The Time.

Absolutely Applied.

(( ie: physically, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally , socially || Everything All The Time. ))






Even you know this OP!

That's why you're asking the question!

These prosperous, sugar-like times are very new.



How did it all come to be and what truly serves humans(Me/You) well OP?

Is a great question to begin clarifying but the labor + living of it all is on each of us individually.

All Love Gentlemen!

You tell me kid. Surely there's more to life for you considering you sound like one of those console warrior fan boys defending their Playstation from a video game forum I'd frequent when I was 10.

A life of sacrifice for the betterment of your family is a life well lived.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
