Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.

Epicurus coined this beautiful quote when he talked about love. So who is really to blame for taking the pleasure out of life? My mother said "pleasure is where you find it" so maybe we are all to blame for not looking hard enough. It can simply be that sometimes we really do need pain to force us to look ! This has to be the theme for tomorrow !!

In the meantime have to use another quote from Epicurus "The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live". Is there any relationship between foolishness and pleasure ? Thought for the day....

"When you know nothing anything is possible......." (It is not original I stole it from one of those great influencers in my life who I have forgotten) I have to confess I have never had one original thought in my life but somewhere I manage to put the thoughts of others into a new context that can be very satisfying.

It's late, time for dreams and smile in the night of pleasurable things !
