We are wired to stimulation, wired to instant gratification, wired to pleasure – and this noxious addiction makes our lives dull and shallow.

 

Drug addiction is simply pleasure addiction. If you are addicted to pleasure – you are an addict – and you are no different to a drug addict.

 

Overindulgence only brings numbness. Pursuit of pleasure actually takes most of life’s pleasure away.

 

The question of transcending pleasure-addiction, hedonism, stimulation-problem, etc. — it is not a question of morality, or a question of achievement (one being illusionary and latter being meaningless).

It is a question of well-being.

 

It is only when this is deeply understood, that one can free himself from the pleasure addiction – and neither seek pleasure nor elude it.

 

One can not change the wiring through consciousness – consciousness can only transcend it (see beyond the mind which clearly IS wired).

 

The re-wiring itself happens through (crude) habit, through (primitive) repetition.

 

Only profound understanding will alleviate the conflict. For we don’t really want to change – we really only want to stay in our ways – and on top of that – we really only want that pleasure, that instant gratification.

One has to grasp the truth before the delusion can end.

 

The decisions is conscious – only the rewiring happens on the unconscious.

 

Rewire to rediscover the simple joy of BEING ALIVE
