There's a key mandate to every man's life. A purpose, dream and aspiration which keeps every man focus, worried or discouraged.
Maybe that's why many fear to try, few strive to try yet doubt their ability to make it happen while most of them just carry the vision in their thoughts hoping for a miracle.
Sam Veda once wrote " unless and until a man does not stop wasting his energy in seeking sensual pleasures; he will not be able to achieve anything substantial".
The words of Woody Allen won't be easily forgotten when he said " You can live to be a hundred if you give up all things that make you want to live to be a hundred "
Although the chief part of every man's happiness consists of pleasure yet "men first feel a necessity then look for utility(satisfaction), next attain to comfort and later amuse themselves with pleasure thence grow dissolute in luxury and finally go mad wasting their substance"
this splits our entire beings into two parts. Thus leaving us with the stress of trying to make these two parts compatible in one soul and body leaving us busy running a race with no finish line.
Now the question is, although Man's destiny is to become a hedonist which invariably means getting attached to a goal or ambition for a purpose of living but which pleasure brings you solace?
