Pleasure and pain


Every pleasure, physical or mental, needs an instrument. 

Both the physical and mental instruments are material, they get tired and worn out. 

The pleasure they yield is necessarily limited in intensity and duration. 

Pain is the background of all your pleasures. You want them because you suffer. 

On other hand, the very search for pleasure is the cause of pain. It is a vicious circle. 

(From I Am That)
