Go for pleasure! Go for it with all your heart and might! That is what you are put here on earth for -- to enjoy yourself to the uttermost. BUT -- be sure it IS pleasure. The world is full of tragic, tempting, cheating counterfeits that never satisfy, but at best only stupefy with temporary excitement or sensation or absorption, like a brief drug high -- but all lead at last to the same dead end. There is only one true, real, permanent pleasure -- unalloyed, unassailable, and everlasting. Ignore the myriad masks of the empty face of Folly, and heed the solitary sound of Wisdom's call to everlasting joy. God guarantees "pleasures for evermore."
