Pleasure is Fleeting!
The happiness of pleasure can never mean as much as the happiness we derive from the pursuit of excellence! Enlightenment is far more satisfying and enduring than mere entertainment; although they are not always mutually exclusive. Pleasure can never make up for the absence of purpose, direction and real meaning in our lives; the pursuit for self improvement naturally provides these things. Happiness from excellence is enduring; happiness from pleasure is shallow and fleeting.
