Charles and I seem to agree on a lot lately --

But being that I am 2hp, I must add a smidgen of bs pseudo-intellectual rhetoric -- So here it is:

"Life is inherently a destructive experience. When we are young, our bodies renew vigorously and we grow. But, even the young may fall victim to a coconut falling from a tree or a crosstown bus that came out of nowhere. Basically, it's a meat grinder, folks. Life is GORE. Life is HORROR.

To redress the gore and horror, thankfully, there is a thing called HEDONISTIC PLEASURE... the 5 senses and all that we can do to make them "happy".

Like anything else we do, the pursuit of pleasure is fraught with peril. We are living forever inside the circular equation: I am afraid to die* >> I want to feel better about it* >> I feel good* >> I am afraid to feel less good than I do right now >> I feel less good >> I am afraid to die* >>...

When you factor-in religious ideologies that Romanticize suffering and self-denial, insert guilt at each of the asterisk points above. And round n round we go... where she stops... Well, you know the rest --
