Pleasures. Sources of pleasure are many... for someone the real pleasure is only at the thought and memory of mint ice cream, for someone from: food, sex, money, shopping, sea, mountains, running, flirting, flowers, gifts, excitement... And all this, as you can see, is material. Or is solved by financial expenditures. Though here is excitement... But here too, I think, casinos or betting are the sources of this kind of pleasure.
Is there any pleasure that does not get tiresome? If there is one that is not obtained, bought or borrowed. Yes... there is such a thing! In a nutshell, pleasure is a constant as a unit of emotion. It is not necessary to add "and also" and other conditions. If I get a high from the sea, I should not say: "Well, it's not the Barents Sea"... By the way, it is beautiful and unique! It's like in the parable about fish. No, it's not the fish you love... And, apparently, not the sea.
Is pleasure a compensator or an analgesic? Could it be the source of addiction? Why are humans given "pleasure"? Do animals experience pleasure? Surely you know? Did a cat, raccoon or seagull tell you that? Ahahaha....
My pleasure is in learning new things. Even if not always tedious, useful, interesting... as a fact. It's healthy for me to learn about taste, color, sound, texture... my pleasure is an emotion. One that is like a snowflake - unique! Thank you for new and different emotions! Thank you!
