Spirit shares I Ching wisdom.
16 – Pleasure
“Do what you love and love what you do” has been used
as an advertisement to enroll in classes that will lead
to a successful career earning an income working at
something that brings you pleasure.
It also expresses the thought that we will do best
what we choose to do for self-satisfaction and not
for its dollar value, alone, or for social status.
That sounds great, but ..
You do not agree?
I do agree.
And yet?
It isn’t always possible.
Why?
We must choose …
That’s what it’s all aobut.
What is all about choosing.
Life.
Life may be about choosing ..
Not may be. It is.
But, sometimes we choose, not for the most
pleasure, but for the least pain.
Is there a difference?
Perhaps not in the final choice, but ..
So, we sometimes sacrifice pleasure?
At least short-term.
For delayed or postponed satisfaction?
Yes.
Why? You’re testing me. Yes.
