Living for pleasure VS Living for purpose

This right here is quote from Indian yogi & mystic Jaggi Vasudev, or more famously known as Sadhguru. Think about this quote for a bit.

In the grand scheme of things, all sex is is just a temporary act of one partner penetrating another for often less than a minute before ending with an ejaculation, the natural purpose of this act being for conceiving babies.

Think about how glorified sexual intercourse alone is in today's world. It's not the purpose of conceiving babies which is glorified, in fact babies are seen as a burden due to the expenses of raising a child, today's youth are either using condoms or strapons, or partaking in homosexual relations where conceiving babies does not happen (before anyone accuses me of being homophobic with this statement, wait until reading the next paragraph, as blasting homosexuality is not my intention at all here). Today's youth are only interested in the act of intercourse itself. Why? One word; Dopamine.Sexual intimacy pre-ejaculation released dopamine, or the feeling of pleasure. It's a tremendous feeling. That is the reason why today's youth are so desperate for sex, is for the thrill of pleasure before ejaculation.

Now, I'm sure right now you may think I'm coming off as a fundagelical preacher here, complaining about how today's youth are evil heathens and they're going to hell, and how I'm so righteous and perfect, right?
But let's backtrack to the aforementioned quote I posted at the beginning of the first paragraph;

Sex in the body is fine, money in the pocket is fine. They only become a problem when they enter your mind.
Sex in the body is fine. The material act of sexual penetration, regardless of whether the act produces babies or not, is fine. It doesn't matter if it's straight sex, gay sex, or an orgy, if the male is using a condom, or if the female is using a strapon, it's all perfectly fine. Same thing with the section of the quote about money, the material condition of having an abundance of wealth and possessions, or not, is perfectly fine. It's nothing more than a material act or condition, it's perfectly okay.

They only become a problem when they enter your mind. This isn't talking about thinking about sex during or right before partaking in it as you'll have to think about it in some way in order to initiate it, or likewise with money, it's talking about the act of making sex or money a consistently focal point of your mind, specifically about making receiving the dopamine/pleasure which comes with sex or wealth a focal point of your mind, glorifying them in your mind and determining in your mind that you want them and hope to get them at any opportunity, that's where the problems start. When it becomes that important to you, that's when you begin to suffer in your mind, when you become envious of those that are either getting laid or getting rich, will curse yourself for passing up on an "opportunity" for these things, can make you socially awkward around the opposite gender (or same gender if applies) due to sexual tension being present, and a whole other assortment of destructive things as well.

This quote however can be applied well beyond just sex and money, but anything that delivers pleasure.

The act of watching movies or television is fine. The act of listening to music is fine. The act of playing video games is fine. The act of observing content on the internet is fine.
They only become a problem when the pleasure received from said activities becomes a focal point of your mind.

Too many of us in today's world have made binge watching TV shows, playing video games for hours a day, daydreaming while listening to music, or surfing the web for instant gratification, a focal tenant of our existence. Sure, we may have responsibilities outside of that because our society demands it, but too many of us are making pleasure the sole focus of our lives, making our sole purpose about receiving dopamine, and nothing more.

What this eventually leads to however is us getting bored with a certain medium after consistently trying to receive pleasure from it, and moving onto something else before getting bored with that, then perhaps either on to another thing or the thing we were previously interested in if it being off our minds for a while can now rekindle some of that fresh feeling about that medium of which we previously had, rinse and repeat, and eventually all of this tends to lead to depression as nothing is giving you pleasure like it used to.

Pleasure, or dopamine, itself, is not a bad thing inherently, but pleasure is a treat, not a necessity.

Think of it like cake. Cake is delicious, and eating it on a special occasion is perfectly fine, but if you eat cake all the time for every meal, you become unhealthy, and possibly get diabetes, or even die.

Think of pleasure like that. It's fine to partake in pleasure as a treat, but it's not okay to make it a central tenant of your life.

Pleasure is a treat, not a necessity.

Instead, we must live for purpose. What I mean is, live your life for the purpose of achieving a desirable end goal for the rest of society by the time of your passing.

Make making the world a better place the focal point of your life, make helping out those around you and not around you for those you can't reach them indirectly, improving the world in any way you can until the day you die so that the future generations will be able to live happily, make that the focal point of your life.

Even if you're not religious, you can and should still live for purpose and not pleasure. I know many atheists complain about climate change. You wanna fight against climate change? Get out in the world and actually make a difference instead of solely bitching about it online in hopes that someone else will do the work for you. You need to help yourself, no one else is going to do that for you, laziness is an evil towards both yourself and to everyone else when you can be making a positive difference.

Don't think this will make life easier, because it won't. What it will do is make you stronger mentally, help you overcome hardship, as you help others overcome hardship.

I don't mean to be judgemental either as I'm not perfect in this endeavor myself, nor will I expect any of you to be. I'm also not demanding that anyone else here take my advice, because again, that's your decision, not mine.

But I am hoping you at least read and consider everything I have stated, because it is a serious issue especially within our demographic.

Before I close, I'd like to share some videos from YouTube channel After Skool which relate to this topic at hand. These videos are quite long, however, so watch the whole thing whenever you have the free time to do so.

Again though, that's just the way I look at it.

I also apologize if I came off as too confrontational with this piece, but I felt I needed to get it off my chest.

But what do you all think of all of this? Let me know in the comments down below.
