“The Key to a Fulfilling Life”
The desire to seek pleasure is something everyone possesses.
It's instinctive, so it can't be helped.
But suppose you want to become incredibly wealthy, so you work yourself to the bone and amass a huge fortune.
You can't take that fortune with you to the afterlife.
Money is merely a temporary deposit in your hands.
If you're fine with that, cling to it. If you think it's foolish, find a way to earn moderately and live moderately.
The same goes for food.
If you want to live a healthy life, practice moderation. If you don't mind getting sick, just eat all the delicious things you want.
In short, which path you choose depends on your personal values.
Live boldly but briefly, or live modestly but long.
Walk proudly and openly under the sun, arms swinging freely, or live like the bird called the “miso sazai,” flying only beneath dark eaves.
If you prefer living under dark eaves with a guilty conscience, that's fine.
No one can force you.
But if you have the desire to walk boldly under the blue sky, you must sacrifice some degree of pleasure.
I used to gamble myself.
But looking back, the time I frequented pachinko parlors coincided with a period when my work wasn't going well.
Once my work started going smoothly and I began seeing results one after another, gambling lost all interest for me.
In other words, if you have a purpose in life, you won't drown in pleasure and ruin your life.
People with many sources of purpose don't need to place heavy emphasis on instinct-driven pleasures like drugs or gambling.
So their lives become filled only with instinct-driven pursuits.
They chase the thrill derived from pleasure.
Yet such pleasures only destroy people; they don't help invigorate them vividly.
They become nothing but poison.
Finding purpose within your daily life.
This purpose varies from person to person. For some, like me, it might be work; for others, a hobby.
Culture is one such example.
I believe it can be anything that allows you to grow through absorbing knowledge and putting it into practice, rather than relying solely on biological instincts.
The more sources of purpose you have, the more stable your spirit becomes, and the richer your life grows.
It's good to have many, many of them, spread out and diverse.
It is within these sources of meaning that the true pleasures of life lie.
