THE AIM OF THE WISE IS NOT TO SECURE PLEASURE BUT TO AVOID PAIN

‘It is not doing what we like but liking to do what we ought to for the desired change in life’. Life has it’s way of springing up challenges at us, variably in our individual pursuit, of course we all want happiness; this quest of happiness has been painted in different colours, some people derive their pleasure to the detriment of others, while some, genuinely for their inner source of being. Its’ quite unfortunate that a life without hitches, is worthless and purposeless, finding the true meaning of what life entail lies with having a purpose to life and why you live; for this will keep us on and going while hope remain steadfast.

However we want something that will make us happy or to be well pleased; committing to intellect, for this should be on long term gain not on short term to avoid pain and find the true joy; as the adage says pain is gain. It is a known fact that we are interested in something that will bring us instant gratification without considering the consciousness of the mind its implication; consequently we are pushed by our anxiety to doing this, well there is no blame it’s natural but not without self control. It is not wise to follow whatever thing of any sort to its action that comes to us. Some things are meant to be preserved for the later while some are meant to be exorcised and eradicated, and also some are meant to be committed to mind for action; from this point we evaluate ourselves to what we want out of life and then we invest in life, by planning and executing what’s planned and if it works, go ahead and achieve another don’t be carried away by success of the first strike, just keep moving for this is where the true joy comes in “Ecstasy of Life” like I would have it expressed in quote.

The immediate gains are nine days wonder they don’t last and yet we are pressed on to it instead of looking above board, we want it in no time; to justify the truth pleasure isn’t bad at all, but it is bad when it is taken for a full shot on target, where as what really matter is neglected and ignored; ignorance and neglect unbridle our due sense of homour from what’s essential; that is it! nobody wants to know where the oven is situated for baking cake and yet we want to eat cake already made, you know it’s not fair enough. Know this all great achievement requires time and tenacity. I will like to share an excerpt from the book of Ecclesiastes 11:1-5 in the book of life (Bible) I believe this will explain better.
Invest in Life
Send your bread on the surface of the waters
For after many days you may find it. Give a portion to seven or even eight; for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth. If the clouds are full they will pour out rain on the earth;
Whether a tree falls to the south or the north, the place where the tree falls there it will lie.
One who watches the wind will not sow, and one who looks at the clouds will not reap.
Just as you don’t know the path of the wind, or how bones (develop) in the womb of a pregnant woman.
So you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.
