Beautiful Way Pleasure

More From Olive Schreiner

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.

First thoughts are the everyday thoughts. everyone has those. second thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. people who enjoy thinking have those. third thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. they’re rare, and often troublesome. listening to them is part of witchcraft.

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.

I once heard that quentin tarantino, who i obviously love and think is a genius, says that there's no such thing as guilty pleasure, there's only pleasures. and i do love that idea, because i do think that there's a pretentiousness when people make a list of their favorite things. i like to live a life where i don't think of my pleasures as guilty pleasures.

If i were poet now, i would not resist the temptation to trace my life back through the delicate shadows of my childhood to the precious and sheltered sources of my earliest memories. but these possessions are far too dear and sacred for the person i now am to spoil for myself. all there is to say of my childhood is that it was good and happy. i was given the freedom to discover my own inclinations and talents, to fashion my inmost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but as the hope and product of my own strength.

So, how do you get back to heaven? to begin with, just notice the thoughts that take you away from it. you don't have to believe everything your thoughts tell you. just become familiar with the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness. it may seem strange at first to get to know yourself in this way, but becoming familiar with your stressful thoughts will show you the way home to everything you need.
