If one were to take deep and critical look at today's society, one would have to concede that it is based primarily on the aspect of seeking and obtaining worldly pleasures. In most cases, what people have determined as pleasurable is truly temporal. Nonetheless, this degree of temporary pleasure is what has caused many of us to suffer mentally, physically, and spiritually. These various degrees of unease have manifested as a result of allowing that which we have considered as pleasurable by becoming that which rules our lives.
The enlightened individual considers the enduring pleasures of the Tao (the Way). Perhaps this position is taken as the enlightened one is he/she who has come to understand the countless blessings that are automatically given to an individual at birth. These countless blessings come in the forms of joy, happiness, and other aspects of spiritual pleasures that far exceed the limited forms of worldly pleasures that keep most trapped and dependent upon that which is, for all intents and purposes, bland and insipid.
