The subconscious (the It) loves pleasures most of all. Food is a pleasure, but if you start taking pleasure in weight loss, you will deceive the It, thus making him your assistant in your struggle against obesity.
No pleasures and joys in any way. The subconscious mind can not be fooled, it will still take its. You can, however, avoiding harmful pleasures to replace them with useful.
Pleasures and entertainment are a very powerful source of pain. It's a drug. You get used to it and can't do without it. You feel incomplete without a drug and pain overwhelms you... Unbearable excruciating pain. But what's worse is that it's a real addiction. You need more and more... And where to get it??? You're already willing to give a lot and then everyting you have just to get a bit of it... And the awful thing is that even with what you have you still feel empty and full of pain... And there's nothing to be done....
The less often you eat, the more delicious food is and the more you enjoy it. The It craves for pleasures – food is pleasure, but the less often and the less you eat, the more you enjoy food.
Life resembles cross. The most important thing in it is stamina, especially in situations when day after day you have to go for hundreds of kilometers. Being worn out is the last thing you may need. The mode when you move without much tension, gladly admire the landscapes and have snacks in roadhouses will be the best choice.
Happiness is work and productivity. Work is a process, movement, and sex. Fruitfulness is a result and children. If the result is beautiful, useful, and numerous, it loses the joy and enthusiasm.
Passive pleasures are also passivity, which means that they are suspicious, lazy, fearful, depressed, and procrastinating. Passive pleasures include television, the Internet, games, solace, sleep, and illusions.
The thought that extraterrestrial intelligence differs from human, is strange. The essence of intelligence and life in general is pleasure and pain. It's hard to imagine any other essence of life.
The danger of being cloyed with pleasure is that the state of being cloyed demands doubling the amount of pleasures. And doubled or tripled amounts of pleasures are very expensive and extremely destructive for human bodies and souls.
Avoid being cloyed with anything. As the state of being cloyed is the enemy of pleasures and happiness. Be satisfied with little. For instance, be happy with a little slice or a piece.
To know when enough is enough is like to know God.
Working helps one get satisfaction by various means. Working is an original source of pleasure as it's possible to get pleasure right from the process of working or its results. But working also lets one earn money and get to secondary sources of pleasure - entertainment, fun or food. There are even tertiary sources of pleasure. You may buy sweets and share it with children and acting this good way will bring you real pleasure.
The problem of every joy is that it's easy to get used to it and become its slave. What's more, while being used in an intense way, any source of pleasure can become depleted and fade away. And a person who lost some particular joy, becomes very unhappy. On the other hand, harmonious alternation of pleasure sources can help to avoid addictions and save the source from being depleted.
We like people who managed to overcome their fears. And we look at them and think that if they managed to do it, than we can do it too... And this thought, this belief that any fear can be overcome makes us happy...
But we also like to see that someone didn't manage to overcome some fear and this fear finally destroyed that person. Yes, without any doubt, it proves we're right and wise. It's not for nothing how we find wisdom not to mess with our fears. We say- just look a that stupid one who once decided to defy his fears. And now he's smashed by them. Ha ha. – What a silly person... No doubt that we're smarter and more careful than that loser.
Humor, jokes and fun bring pleasure, of course. That's good. They are especially relevant when things are bad and they help to live in our complicated world.
But I've noticed that people who abuse it unnecessarily start to look like idiots for some reason. Idiotic joy, idiotic fun, constant idiotic jokes - these people are clearly at the last stage of degradation, they clearly need to change something in themselves.
I have noticed that true joy and pleasure is work and serving your dream. All other pleasures and joys are just masks hiding infernal pain. He who envies other people’s pleasures envies the flames of hell.
Drugs are shackles and chains. The most famous drugs are sweet, alcohol, lust, pleasure, money, entertainment, movies and TV series, music and even sweet books.
What it means to understand love as a desire to have. Desire to have what? - Having fun. If there is no pleasure, then such a person does not want to do anything.
Sports is when play fans when the pros play is always the art. Amateurs serve their pleasure, and professionals are those who deserve their devotion to love in return.
All human life is, in essence, a process endless flight from their own suffering... It's hard for me to remember even a day of my life, free from that feeling... And everything I've ever done in my life has been done exclusively., to stifle this unpleasant feeling... So when some simpleton calls out to the Lord with a question for which he makes people suffer... I just smile; I remember a squirrel in a wheel and I think what still perpetual motion this God ponapridumyvali our sinful souls...
A sinner, doomed to suffer, is a person whose main aspirations are peace, pleasure, fulfillment of desires and passions of the body. He can not find peace until he satisfies the passion of his desires and strives for them to find peace.
All the life we exploit someone or are exploited, and of course, it's always pleasant when it's done carefully and in good mood. It's natural for people to be exploited, and if they are also treated well and valued, then it inspires them for deeds.
If you look closely at the image of the Satyr, you will notice that it is a metaphor of a man with a very inflated Ego, very fixated on the size of his penis and genital pleasures.

In conversation, hold your breath more often. Your interlocutor uses this pretext to make you a listener, which is good. The more you listen and the less you speak, the more intelligent and smart in all respects you seem to others.
Extremely frustrating when you say something to him, and he looks at you like a sheep at a new gate. What is there to talk about with a sheep? Remember not to be a sheep, read more. Reading able any sheep magically turned into a quite decent man, with whom pleasant to communicate.
The Trunks of the ring of power of Sauron, the perfect image of what makes a weak passion. The power ring gives power and sucking it from his master, filling his soul with pleasure and fear of losing him.
Ask people for a personal favor. Say that if you fail, you will be punished. That is, if a person does not help you, you will be punished, and if he does, he will save you. People are pleased to know that someone owes them now.
I'm an extended hedonist theory follower: plant a tree and take care of it. And all the time during its growth and later when it's big enough, every glance at this tree will bring you joy and pleasure... The same can be said about the house and children...
...and generally about any result of a person's constructive activity under the condition that the result brings perfection and preferably, uniqueness.
It's a very important moment: perfection and uniqueness. Try not to create any garbage in your life as the world's already full of garbage. So why contribute to this problem... Especially that it causes painful consequences.
Before going in for art and becoming an artist, a writer or an actor... (the list can be endless), you should think: so will you manage and will you have enough talents and energy. The thing is that the providence really dislikes when people do something not meant for them or when they pursue goals they are not ready for. And the goal to become a person of art is a responsible one. It can be called a system funding work. The work for producing joy, wonder, pleasure and other natural drugs. Stimulating drugs that make people live and be devils for work. It's a very hard and important work. As people are already fed up with pleasures and nothing brings them joy. So to touch their souls one really should have outstanding uniqueness and perfection... If one bites off more than one can chew, then a loser artist will feel really very pitiful and miserable...
