WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR PLEASURE.
GOD IS MAXIMUM PLEASURE.
BUT, SINCE PAIN & PLEASURE FOLLOW EACH OTHER,
THE TRICK IS TO CHASE PAIN!!!!!
ALWAYS MAKE THE HARDER CHOICE!!!!!
ALWAYS TAKE THE DIFFICULT OPTION!!!!!
DON'T WORRY IF YOU LOSE.
DON'T GIVE UP.
THE BEAUTY ABOUT TAKING ON PAIN IS THAT WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE, STOP.
THEN SMALL THINGS WILL GIVE YOU LOTS OF PLEASURE.
REMEMBER NOT TO KILL YOURSELF.
REMEMBER TO TAKE THAT REST OR THAT BREAK OR THAT PAIN KILLER WHEN THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE.
THEN, WHEN RECOVERED FROM PAIN, TAKE IT ON AGAIN.
KEEP AT IT.
REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASON IS.
ALL WE KNOW IS THAT WE ARE ALL ONE.
AND THAT WE ALL EXIST FOR GOD'S PURPOSE.
TRUST THAT MYSTICAL FAITH.
BLINDLY. FULLY. ALWAYS.
COME TO TERMS WITH PAIN.
ACCEPT IT. SURRENDER TO IT.
TOLERATE IT IN FULL FAITH.
THEN, IF POSSIBLE, SMILE.
AND, VERY SLOWLY, PLEASURE WILL FOLLOW.
SO MUCH PLEASURE, THAT IT KILLS YOU.
EITHER WAYS, YOU DIE.
BUT THE PAIN ROUTE REVEALS GOD.
AND YOU DIE HAPPY.
AMEN.
