I may not have been as clear as I should in explaining the pain/pleasure principle…
Being driven to seek pleasure does not necessarily choosing what is more fun… that would be a simplistic view of the equation…
Let us just take College as an example…. which is more fun… going to school or hanging out with the guys…??? Hanging out with the guys might me more fun… but the idea of getting a diploma will give even more satisfaction… therefore the choice will be College…. (choosing the pleasure option.)
Even the Talibans would choose martyrdom over life because the prospect of being a hero affords more satisfaction (again the pleasure option.)
Hope this is a little clearer…
The option satisfaction/ pleasure will always be chosen… it’s human nature…
