IS HAVING THE PLEASURES OF LIFE PAINFUL?
Really, is this even true, how can pleasures be painful for anyone. We all work hard to get the pleasures of life be with having the comfort of home or the luxury of a car. We all have dreams of having our most awaited holidays in exotic places and so on. Dreams are part of us as we plan and work towards achieving our goals.
Dreams are much needed for one to even know what they want and to help one on setting goals. The point is when we start setting goals which are unachievable then that can become painful and a true heartbreaker. Though we can set smaller goals and work towards achieving them with baby steps. Nevertheless when we feel that always the other side of the mountain is greener then no matter what you achieve it can not bring happiness to you.
So how can pleasures of life actually be painful?
Isn’t it interesting, that we are actually wondering how and why are pleasures being painful when actually we are striving towards it to reach our dreams? One of the strongest belief is one needs to work hard to get the pleasures of life. It is true and we have to work to get some of the comforts of life which would give us pleasure. In the process, we forget and ignore that even small little things bring in pleasures which can be looked at as simple pleasures of life.
Each person may have a different definition and perception for the meaning of pleasures. Nevertheless when we look at it depending on the kind of dreams each person has and the path they choose to reach the dreams would be the milestones of goals and achievements.
>Is the journey to the achieving of the dream pleasurable or painful?
>What kind of journey have you chosen is it smooth or a tough terrain?
.What kind of pleasure is pleasure to you?
Is happiness also pleasure for you?
Are you open to receive or change your thoughts or opinions to reach our belief of having pleasures in life?
When we start looking at these kind of questions wherein we can ask ourselves is it really worth trying to go on a path thinking it’s pleasurable in the process we are creating unwanted stress, anxiety, fear and so on. The various thoughts and choices we take helps us take decisions on what we really want in life.
Let us get down to the facts of why pleasures can be painful!
The first point is, to achieve our goals which we believe will get or give a pleasurable life we
We usually tend to start sacrificing many things including spending time with loved ones as we mix up our priorities of life. We think we can actually spend time with them later.
The point is will tomorrow ever come ?? Now it is not a pessimistic statement, the fact of life we are so caught up trying to run the rat race we forget to actually enjoy the journey.
Living life in fear is another aspect which again is not about being a path which is pleasurable. No one enjoys or wants to live a life just out of fear or stress. We never intend to, but situations and circumstances drives us to the point of no return.
Being forced to choose the wrong due to pressure from family, can also drive us down the path of pain which is ofcourse not pleasurable for anyone. We may start cursing and cringing at the fact of of things happening against our own will.
Trying to use unscrupulous ways to achieve the pleasures that we are seeking can also turn out to be very painful. As we are stepping on stones or paths which can cause havoc to us as well as others. This can consciously or subconsciously create a lot of churning within us.
When we go chasing a dream we are also chasing money and relationships. Both these the more chase it the more it moves away from us. In the process of dreams instead of it being pleasurable can become painful.
We come with a pre-destined plan and soul contracts which brings us to have various experiences. Some of these can be very painful and give us sleepless nights as we are unable to accept the lessons of life.
When we get attached to all the painful experiences and start holding onto grudges, disharmony in relationships this can lead to us having an unhappy life. So instead of a journey being pleasurable, it can become painful.
The list can go on with all the different ways we can make a journey painful trying to bring in pleasures of life.
Now how can one try not to get attached to the pleasures of life which could actually become painful:-
Understand and know you are here only to witness and experience for the purpose of your soul evolution into higher plains.
Respect and acknowledge every emotion that we experience knowing it only brings in the lessons to understand what’s been given to us. It is not to be held onto which could block the energy flow for us.
Getting attached to the pain only bring us discomfort and suffering which is a very bodily experience. This does not allow us to progress as a soul and we get caught in the cycle of life and death. So one would rather not get attached to tehee kind of things.
Try to look for happiness, peace, and harmony within yourself than outside you, as these will help you keep a balance and also allowing you to witness your experiences of life without holding onto anything. Knowing that each and every experience or situation brings in tremendous learning which is important for you to witness or experience.
One needs to remember that when we get attached to our journey and look at the path as treacherous or enduring we lose the experience of the journey. What has to be actually pleasurable journey may turn out to be a nerve-racking painful journey. Life is all about experiences and living in the moment being grateful for all the little things that come our way.
Choose your paths knowing that we should never be attached to the outcome of whatever we choose.
Emotions and Feelings need to be experienced and bring in gratitude for the lessons that come with it.
