In my continuing pursuit to package life and emotions into neat little mathematical, scientific and technical boxes so I can better relate to them, I present my next installment…..
We all seek pleasure in whatever form appeals most to us. It is these instantaneous moments of moving from one pleasure to the next to is one of the driving motivators of our day-to-day existence. These moments of pleasure are akin to points – geometrically, temporally and existentially. String several of these pleasures together and we form a line – we have come to equate this line to happiness. This line proceeds forward in bliss until we experience one of those pleasures that are driven by selfish desire, arrogance, advantage, leverage and manipulation. Even if our own guilt and conscious does not terminate the line into a line segment, ever-present karma eventually will do so. We must then await the next opportunity for a purer pleasure to arise to start the line of happiness again. The secret is having the wisdom to know which pleasure will drive your line onward and which decisions will truncate your path. Lay enough pure pleasures end-to-end to construct a line of happiness and you will produce a ray that points to contentment.
