The Sense Pleasures

"How many people live their lives in pursuit of the happiness that comes from the pleasure of the senses, the mind included? It is most people! This is the ordinary, mundane realm that most people live in. Before we know it, we're at the end of our lives, not having been fulfilled, because they (the sense pleasures) are incapable of bringing fulfillment. Precisely because each one is not lasting.

We need to decide how much of our lives we want to dedicate to the pursuit of these sense pleasures, because the pursuit will never end."

-Joseph Goldstein
