I was just thinking…
So pleasure comes from our nerves being happy, good chemical balance and a positive spirit right?
Why are we so afraid of it?
Maybe it’s possible that our purpose in life IS pleasure! Our base spiritual desires all swing around love, while our base physical desires swing around intimacy. I would think we should be racing towards these goals not hiding from them or sneaking around them.
Our love is complete with peace and understanding with another person. Whether it is friendships, partners or intimate, love always needs commitment through peace and understanding.
Our sexual desires are best completed with relational love tied into the mix.
As basic human behavior we should exercise peace and love everyday! We should be polite to people and really appreciate everything we have while taking care of the place we live. These things all will be useful in love.
If love is our life fuel, then I don’t think it sounds too smart to run away from the fuel source.
Again I ask why we are afraid.
