In this episode, we delve into the complex relationship between pleasure and pain, exploring the often misunderstood dynamics that govern human happiness. We dissect the idea that pleasure is not inherently avoided, but rather, the irrational pursuit of it leads to painful consequences. Conversely, pain is not sought after for its own sake, but in certain scenarios, enduring pain can lead to greater pleasures. We examine practical examples, such as undertaking physical exercise not for the act itself but for the benefits it brings, highlighting the nuanced choices we make to balance pleasure and pain in our lives. Additionally, we explore the concept of how individuals may become ensnared by immediate pleasures, unable to anticipate the resulting pain, and the importance of strength of will in facing duties that may involve repudiating pleasures for greater good. Through the teachings of a great explorer of truth, we aim to provide a comprehensive account of how to navigate the pursuit of happiness by making informed choices between pleasure and pain.
