Maytag Performa Not Turning On

joy and pleasure - a polemic against a collector of experiences

My last post contained a thesis according to which life in harmony with the philosophy of minimalism is one in which the minimization has everything except love and joy. Unless you are self-explanatory concept of love, so much of joy is already a problem. I have no philological education, but I will try to explain what I mean.
Love is the main noun of the verb love and understanding that is a continuous act of love. joy comes from the verb rejoice and just beginning to feel the stairs, because the For many years the word is replaced in our language, the expression enjoy. Noun from enjoy probably joy. To all this we still present in the title pleasure that has no "ancestor" verbal. All of this can make one dizzy, so I decided to systematize the concept of joy in the context of minimalism as a response to the question of how to live.
Christianity, Buddhism and Judaism in a sense, recommend life filled with joy, in short, to be so live happily. What does this mean? Contrary to appearances, this is not much in common with the search for hedonistic pleasures. The problem of this kind of pleasure I mentioned already in one of the previous posts writing, that is not worth collecting the best subjective experiences. At at that post got a comment from someone of a different sentence, to which I said is true, but not exhausted the subject. Why, in my opinion, but do not seek pleasure? First and foremost, because after a while, so there is always excitement. "Exit". We are not able to maintain its own level of excitement for a long time which makes the cessation of a stimulus often feel a kind of hunger, feeling worse than before the sensation of pleasure. In presenting this graphically, we feel that we took a step forward and two steps back, and thus can not come to an end. Another problem is the need for ever new and stronger incentives, such for which in the end may not have enough scale. What then shall we do?
can not explicitly describe what life in joy, however, I can cite a popular metaphor. Sexual intercourse is without doubt a pleasure. Most animals like how people feel pleasure from sexual acts, but in a sense, we are unique. We can not be sad to say after a finite ratio. There is a condition, however, we must really love that person been living. If love is untrue or incomplete, we step forward to later depart from the joy.
By analogy to this metaphor, we can generalize that a joyful life is life in love. This in turn raises the question about the object of our affection. So what is love? This question everyone must answer the same and then deal with just that. Contrary to appearances, sometimes to determine the true object of our love is harder than it seems well, because from childhood we are taught to love objects, money, God in the sense of a dominant religion. In addition, often grown in our hatred for richer, for science and education, to people with different views, what more difficult to have looked deep into each other. But this is the subject of another article of. This probably includes enough material for reflection on this day.
