NEVER DO ANYTHING TO PASS TIME*(1)
BUT DO IT TO GAIN TIME __ FOR
YOUR TRUE ENJOYMENT*(2). NOW!
TRUE (SENSE) JOY IS NOT BY DISTORTING AND PERVERTING THE SENSES,
BUT BY UTILIZING THEM (SENSIBLE) TO THEIR OPTIMUM CAPACITY ;*( 3)
WITHOUT BECOMING AN CONTROLLABLE ADDICT*(4) TO ANY,
AND WITH A THOUGHT TOWARDS OTHERS IN SIMILAR (OR HIGHER) PURSUIT*(5).
*(1) – HOBBIES ARE NOTORIOUS TIME PASSERS. IF YOU DO NOT INDULGE IN YOUR HOBBY ON YOUR
HOLIDAY, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IT IS A TIME PASSER. EVEN MORE DEROGATORY IS IDLE PRATTLE, THE COMMONEST SENSUAL EXCESS WHICH IS A UNIVERSAL TIME PASSER (WASTER). PRATTLERS GAIN PLEASURE BY EXPRESSING AND LISTENING TO, THEIR FIXED OPINIONS. WHEN TALK, THAT IS NOT AN INSTRUCTION OR INQUIRY, STOPS SHORT OF DEDUCTIVE REASONING, IT BECOMES IDLE PRATTLE. (AND, DEDUCTIVE REASONING OF NATURE IS SCIENCE)
*(2) – THE RIGHT WAY TO ‘GAIN TIME’ IS NOT BY EARNING BUT BY LEARNING – THE MEANING OF LIFE AND, TO LIFE. FOR IF YOU EVALUATE THIS, IN TERMS OF PLEASURE, IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST – THE JOY OF THE TRUTH.
*(3) – IN ADDITION TO SENSUAL HAPPINESS THERE IS ALSO ‘MENTAL’ HAPPINESS. POWER, PROSPERITY AND GLORY OR FAME ARE VARIETIES OF ‘MENTAL’ (OR MEMORY INDUCED) HAPPINESS WHICH CAN BE
FLEETING AS SENSUALITY. BUT, CONFIDENCE (JOY OF THE TRUTH) AS A RESULT OF ELIMINATING UNCERTAINTY (OF REALITY) IS THE ONE AND ONLY SUPREME (MENTAL) HAPPINESS; WHICH ALSO CAN BE USED TO SUBSTANTIATE OR SUPPORT ANY FORM OF SENSE HAPPINESS – BY FILLING THE GAPS BETWEEN CONTROLLING SENSUALITY.
*(4) – UNCONTROLLED SENSUALITY SOON SPILLS OVER INTO AREAS OF OTHER ACTIVITY AS WELL, AND MAY EVENTUALLY ENGULF ONE’S ENTIRE LIFE – AS WITH ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
UNCONTROLLED SENSUALITY ® EXCESSES (WHICH CAN OBSCURE REALITY) ® ADDITION
(UNCONTROLLABILITY)
