There’s nothing wrong with pleasure.

Throughout the majority of human history, people were obsessed with demonizing all pleasure seeking behavior. They did everything in their power to subjugate the masses and keep them under control, but for some reason we still believe that this was some sort of ancient wisdom. We are giving value to stuff that people who lived through it laughed at it at best, but because it is ancient, we are supposed to assume it has some truth to it that we are in no place to ever dare question it. Things are true because they make sense, with disregard to when those things have been said. They gave you every reason to abandon using what you already have access to; your mind, because God says so, your parents says so, the government says so, the elites, your ancestors, society, others, especially others who lived before you or just happened to have been born before you, because they are the only ones who are allowed to think. They dictate what you are supposed to think and how you’re supposed to think. They tell you what’s wisdom and what’s not. They tell you what you should believe, or else.

And who do you think you are to question them.

And they have to keep you under control, by telling you that your feelings are invalid, you are bad for getting angry. There’s something wrong with you, because you’re resisting abuse. They tell you all pleasure seeking behavior is forbidden, because they want to keep you running in survival mode all your life, be passive and indifferent towards everything, be submissive and obedient, have no free will or desire of your own, and have no identity, self, or need for freedom. They don’t want you to awaken or realize the truth or how much power you have. Many of what they do revolves around starving you from being able to have your own thoughts, have control over yourself, have the energy to fight back, or have the power to fix your life, solve your problems, and be of value to society at large. It has nothing to do with wisdom, enlightenment, or actualization. It is all control.
