Immediate Gratification
When
you analyze it, the motivation to 'just feel good right now' is really
just indulging our desires. The motivation to immediately gratify desire
is what has driven most of our actions throughout our beginningless
sojourn in samsara—all it has accomplished is to perpetuate our
confusion, pain, and habitual inability to pull ourselves out of this
mess. This is precisely the problem that Buddhism was invented to solve.
