The Truth about Pleasure
The
truth is, we don’t really want to be free from desire or to admit that
clinging to the pleasures of the senses—the taste of delicious food; the
sound of music, gossip, or a joke; the touch of a sexual embrace—ends
unavoidably in disappointment and suffering. We don’t have to deny that
pleasant feelings are pleasurable. But we must remember that like every
other feeling, pleasure is impermanent.
