No Pleasure Without Peace

I don’t think that pleasure is anywhere near possible without peace. When life is hectic and peace is absent, nothing enjoyable. That’s because our brain is always worrying about the next thing that it needs to get done. We are not able to stop, slow down, take a look around and feel pleasure in the things that are right in front of us. We tend to overlook the things that let us have pleasure or push them to the side because the stressful things need to be put to rest first. I am looking for peace at the moment, because living in peace allows us to find the extra bonus that we call pleasure.
