Every pleasure, physical or mental, needs

an instrument. Both the physical and mental

instruments are materials, they get tired and

worn out. The pleasure they yield is necessarily

limited in intensity and duration. Pain is the

background of all your pleasures. You want them

because you suffer. On the other hand, the very

search for pleasure is the cause of pain. It is a

vicious circle.
