Thinking Kind Pleasure

More From Claude Monet

To love you as i should, i must worship god as creator. when i have learnt to love god better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now. in so far as i learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of god and instead of god, i shall be moving towards the state in which i shall not love my earthly dearest t all. when first things are put first, second things are not suppressed bu increased.
Moving Love You Firsts
It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. a wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. joy comes from loving god and neighbor. pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of god.

When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. the mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. and pleasure really is a non-existent thing. when we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
Pain Moving Focus
Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. the purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of god. in pursuing that goal we find happiness. pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good. one of the best ways to get happiness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'how can i please god?' and, 'why am i not better?' it is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.
Giving Up Practice Perfect
And now you ask in your heart, ‘how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. for to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * people of orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.

The interesting thing about gay people is that you can't really put on a wedding without them. they're the ones who make your dress, and do the flowers and the catering. they've toiled in the wedding industry all these years but were never allowed to do it themselves.

She tells her love while half asleep, in the dark hours, with half-words whispered low: as earth stirs in her winter sleep and puts out grass and flowers despite the snow, despite the falling snow.

If people would just look at the paintings, i don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. it's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

Art is the flower of life and, as seed, it gives back life.
