Pleasure

I think it is very important to understand pleasure. The structure of the society is based on pleasure. The endless entertainment whether it is cricket, reality shows, movies, religious, the pleasure of having authority, having fun in hurting somebody with your words, sex there are innumerable pleasures.

These pleasures help you to escape from yourself. I don't want to look at vanity or shallowness inside me so I will go to movie, watch TV show, joins some NGO to help the poor...etc. There is nothing wrong in doing all the above actions as long as it is not an escape from your fears, desires, emptiness....etc. If I am intelligent I will put a question to myself why there are poor people at all not what I have to do to end poverty.

Individuals and organizations are working towards banishing poverty and bring peace on earth through out centuries why they failed?
If I am not afraid of being honest I will find out that self centered activity of human being is the root cause of all this misery. The tool for breaking this vicious circle is real education which is knowing about yourself not commercial education. Somebody can tell me you are behaving selfishly but finally it is me who has to act and this action must be out of time that is in the active present. So can I step out of the society without waiting for the society to change?

Suppose I have seen a valley with full of natural beauty which is filled with lush greenery, flowers, it's marvelous curves, the passing clouds that breath taking beauty abandons the self effortlessly. I mean that beauty wipes out all your sorrows, fears, anxieties, cravings for a moment we simply forget about ourselves. The next day if you are back to your routine life and suppose if you are caught in fear or something else I mean again life became burden for you what happens? Thought goes back and try to chew that experience which is stored up in brain cells. This very try for repetition
causes pain. The example you can replace with sexual pleasures, craving for power position...etc.
