...e are so attached to having fun, enjoyment, amusement, gratification and pleasure, that is how we train our children. This condition pervades into our developmental phases. Some people don’t want to grow up, and stay children. They remain stunted and stagnant in intellectual, emotional, psychological and spiritual maturity. They take on the self-governance to some degree and have to provide for their own survival, but they want to remain children and focus on pleasure and having fun in life. And in between their survival responsibilities and having fun, they get immersed in the pervasive distractions all around us. What also mirrors this is the big daddy, mommy, nanny state care that allows people to remain children as well. Give away your personal responsibility to the government, have someone else re-present you in life, and go have fun kid! Round and round we go, in a hamster wheel, having fun, enjoying all of the distractions, entertainment and pleasure that we can possibly derive from everything at our availability. And we wonder why things are not going the way we want, why “change” is not working… The pleasure trap is seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. This drive is rooted in the R-complex or base-brain. This is basing your decisions in life on pleasurable feelings and avoiding pain, especially psychological pain, through ignorance, denial or rejection of truth. Not many people feel responsible for wrongdoings being engaged by themselves or others in the world so long as they get their pleasure fulfillment in some way. That sensory perception of “feeling-good” is used as a compass to determine what is allegedly “good”. Truth is paramount before anything else. Truth reigns supreme. Thinking “love” comes first while remaining ignorant and immersed in a web of lies, thinking “love” comes first because it brings you this false “happiness” of ignorance, is absurd. Just like aesthetics, if you construct your meaning and value system based on lies that make you “feel-good”, then this is not truly “love”, nor is it “happiness”. It is self-deception in order to attain a momentary acquisition or semblance of a facsimile to that which you truly seek. It is a proxy, a false representation. You’re seeking “love”, you’re seeking “happiness”, but you are doing it within the framework of lies, deception, manipulation and false perception. Truth is where it all starts. “Immorality? Who cares! Me me me! I want, desire, wish and expect X, Y, Z, so gimme gimme gimme! As long as I’m pleased, gratified, satiated, amused, then I have achieved my pursuit of [false] ‘happiness'” What is your main, chief, principle drive? Mine is the discovery of Truth. The more you understand the degenerate false way we are currently living, the more you turn away from these useless desires that trap you in a self-delusional bubble of pleasure. The world is filled with children pretending to be adults, pretending we have been raised, pretending we are actually educated in things that matter most. https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com/2025/07/14/are-we-really-growing-up-and-maturing/ ➝ Dialectics Of The Political Sects. ⚖ https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/dialectics-of-the-political-sects/ ➝ Trapped in The Pleasure Trap. https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com/2024/07/05/trapped-in-the-pleasure-trap/ ➝ Are We Living Our Own Lives or Are We Living "Their" Program For Life? https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com/2025/06/21/are-we-living-our-own-lives-or-are-we-living-their-program-for-life/ The-Great-Work: https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com Minds: https://www.minds.com/MindCom/?referrer=MindCom Mewe: https://mewe.com/the_great_work.82 Substack: https://thegreatwork.substack.com Gab: https://gab.com/SovereignLightWarrior Tumblr: https://agapewizard.tumblr.com Librti: https://librti.com/The-Great-Work The-Great-Work:Telegram-channel: https://t.me/the_greatwork BTS:Telegram: https://t.me/break_the_spell_group BTS:Mewe: https://mewe.com/join/breakthespell1 BTS:Minds: https://www.minds.com/group/777125552996753423 #Truth #Governance #Knowledge #Humanity.
