00:00 That is why you coolly settle down with momentary pleasures.
00:04 Had you really been a lover of pleasure,
00:06 why would you make peace with these trivial things that you call as pleasurable?
00:11 Some psychedelics, some drugs, some excitement, some women, some booze.
00:17 That's what your pleasure is, right?
00:18 High-speed driving, somehow managing a room in a posh hotel,
00:22 walking into it with a girl.
00:24 That's what your pleasure is.
00:25 How does the bedsheet look after the night?
00:27 How is the morning after the rampage?
00:30 How does the bottle look?
00:31 What does it give you the next day?
00:33 But a hangover, you call that a pleasure?
00:35 I'm not denigrating it on moral grounds.
00:38 I'm disparaging it on the basis of its sheer incompleteness.
00:43 It does not give you pleasure.
00:45 Yes, life has to be pleasurable.
00:47 But why not go for a high pleasure?
00:49 Why must you seek the lowest kind of pleasures?
00:52 And that too, when you know that they don't succeed in fulfilling you.
00:56 So have some real fun.
00:57 Like a man, not like a baby.
