If you seek inner peace, you will be able to find absolute pleasure in the mundane - more and more simple things.

- flowers

- bird chirps

- clouds

If you seek pleasure, your mind gets filled with clouds making it harder to see beauty in things.

You need more and more to find the pleasure.

From sugar cane to eventually cocaine, just to feel the same feeling you’d feel from smelling a flower if you sought inner peace instead of pleasures.

Through the pursuit of peace, pleasure becomes easy.

Through the pursuit of pleasure, peace becomes impossible.

A good rule of thumb is to zig while everyone else zags.
