The Idea of Pleasure

We find pleasure in everything we like to do. If we enjoy reading, cooking, painting, drawing... then we know what pleasure is. It's a bodily sensation or series of bodily sensations concurrent with what we enjoy doing.

The Puurrrr of a Cat

The idea of pleasure, that we have about cats, is when they puurrr, they sound happy and they feel well. That is the idea of pleasure we have about them, but pleasure is mysterious in cats, because they act different than other animals,
I love to see them run and climb a tree, they do rapidly, as all they do, but we never are sure of what they are going to do. I've had many cats, but they never act the same way two times. They take their time to satisfy themselves, they are curious and they play only when they want. As you can see, the idea of pleasure is different of what think than what it is. Like your ideas and mine!

Trees


It is a pleasure to see something you like. Nature is one of the pleasures we always like to see. The green of the trees altogether with clouds and colors. Why do we enjoy seeing nature? Some of us enjoy different scenes more than trees, clouds and colors. I enjoy reinbows with gray clouds. What do enjoy?

May Flower



This flowers are called here in Xalapa, "May flowers" it is a pleasure to see them. They are tiny little orchids. I've had them for several years and each May we have them. Seeing them reminds me that everything we have is only for a little time. Time goes and only leaves us the remembrance of beauty.

How long does pleasure last?

Emotions , sensations and moods can be clocked. When we have a headache we can say it lasted one hour or two, all day. A piece of cake we ate, we enjoyed it, every bite, we can even clock all the minutes we took to eat it. Can we do the same with pleasure? Can pleasure be clocked?

Is there a difference between taking a walk which one enjoys because you are in a beautiful park and taking a walk anywhere, just because you need to walk?
You might think there it is. It might be just like when you read a book at school because you had to do a "book report" and when you read a book, just because it is a pleasure!
