Happiness & pleasure contradict each other

What will you do when you want to get out but you can't?

Which is better, the easier or harder way?

Life's not a bed of roses. It is imperfect and that makes it perfect enough. We tend to bend towards a shortcut than going through a long way when we experience any form of loss; money, career, loved ones, etc. In a way, shortcuts will not get you to the top in life. Morever, they may deteriorate your sanity! Pleasure is temporary while happiness is eternal so if you want to be genuinely happy, interpret its vast difference. Well, pleasure can be an antidote to sadness too but it does not work efficiently because we always crave for more later on and soon, might end up with more troubles. In life, realise that pleasure aligns with pamper without affecting yourself and others to the black side.

Common errors:

"I've been hating how life is treating me!...so,"

• Thinking that alcohol will do it well
• Thinking that going to clubs can let loose or de-stress yourself
• Thinking that drugs like ecstasy completes your doomed life
• Thinking that violence/revenge will solve it all
• Unconsciously being selfish by manipulating/hurting/affecting the others
• Thinking that gaining a whole sum of material things will change your life
• Thinking that waiting for something uncertain to happen is a good idea
• Thinking that someone/something will make your life wonderful
• Thinking that I'm fated to suffer on earth, I give up

STOP & STARE! - Nonsensical right?

What's the right thing to do then?

• Just drink water, eat more bananas & chocolates (scientifically proven that this can make you feel joyful)
• Don't go to night clubs. A club where you can exercise and do other healthy activities is so much better
• Drugs are a NONO. Take vitamins instead! Keep up your health cover
• Hatred won't solve anything because it grows. Love your enemy and forgiveness is an open door
• Be selfless towards every earthling. The benefit of selfishness is a pile of dead guilt. Do thing that will benefit yourself and the others
• Holding on to things regardless of value is of the same value. Take material things as rewards that will be gone when you die.
• Don't wait for something to happen. Money doesn't rain down from the sky everyday. WORK on it, CHANGE. Make it certain if it's uncertain
• You're not a toy to anyone out there because you control your own life.Only you can make yourself feel the best out of life. If someone were to do that, treat that as kindness
• You're here on earth because you're lucky. Lucky to have lived on this beautiful planet where there are so many things to be explored. Live the right way and you'll know how lucky you are to be here!
