The second most important question for THIS entire conversation is: can I get to a point in my life where everything is pleasurable via my own path?
-If everything is a pleasurable learning experience (including pain) then there is no "pain" nor "pleasure" they become the same thing.
The third most important question for THIS entire conversation is: what is real pleasure, and could it be the acceptance of all things good and bad?
-If everything is accepted then everything is viewed as equal. If everything is equal then everything can be loved equally.
-Therefore to enjoy real pleasure/ love, acceptance (of everything good and bad) is required. To get to that place of acceptance balance is acquired.
-Everything in moderation will ultimately manifest balance and stability.
There is a difference between real pleasure/happiness and superficial pleasure. Real pleasure = acceptance of all things good and bad /"pleasure" and "pain"= balance = love.
The most important question of ALL is: do the things I view as pleasurable come from a place of selfishness or selfish selflessness?
(Selfish selflessness= the betterment of the whole including oneself/ treating others equal to oneself and vice versa/ showing no preference to the needs of anything or anyone)
When this question is answered the truth will be awakened and happiness/ true pleasure will be found.
