62-year old Mediterranean man here. *One* glass of wine spaced across a delightful dinner with my wife of 40 years may in fact be somehow “bad”. It’s still good.

[@Cat-sv7zu]

He said pleasure while making a memory is good. Without your wife's presence it would just be pleasure.

[@tlosgolf]

Serious truth right here.

So is depression though. Guess this quote came from a time before depression was such an epidemic.

[@HB-yq8gy]

My masseuse is my pleasure & enjoyment every time I go for the last 30 years.

There is pleasure And there is bliss. Forgo the first to possess the second. Dhammapada (The Sayings of the Buddha) 21:1

[@TheBriarCottage]

I don’t understand. I get far more enjoyment out of life when people aren’t there.

[@catataumachado1]

Same here.

[@scottk1525]

Gets on my nerves when people redefine words just to fit their personal philosophies. Comes off as sophistry.

[@jackthompson6296]

I, too, would rather he just made up a new nonsense word to make it harder to understand what he’s talking about, because there’s nothing worse than using familiar words to explain unfamiliar concepts, like sophistry.

[@IAmZanderStewart]

Such a terrible example 😂😂😂😂… The one company who’s successfully been boycotted and lost millions because of the terrible advertising decisions. Also quite surface level explanations here too, the ice bath does give you pleasure, long term longer lasting pleasure, you stay in marriage for the pleasurable moments…
