another factor to consider . . . . pleasure cannot be experienced WITHOUT pain! They go hand in hand as they are relatives.
Work all week and really enjoy your weekend. Retire and have nothing to do all week and your weekends wont seem so much fun any more.
Work hard and save and enjoy your new car/boat/house/plasma screen . . . but inherit £5million on top of the $100million you already have and you can buy 100 cars and boats and not enjoy a single one of them. All of which brings us back to ARTelevisions comment that THIS is heaven right here right now! Take away your pain and your pleasures disappear too . . . . . . . knowing that our lives are short brings pleasure . . it would be hell to be told you would live forever . . . . and just imagine the fun you would have if you knew you only had one month to go?
