“Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. The purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of God. In pursuing that goal we find happiness. Pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good.

It is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.” WayGivingLife IsPurposeAsksGoalPerfectPleasurePracticeProductsPleaseGiving UpDefinitionsBest WayBoredPurpose Of LifeRepetitionDiminishRemindersSeekersFinding HappinessEcstaticPerfect LifeLentenEcstatic Love Author:Fulton J.
