Even medication and such does not help at all.
Everything is relative. There are millionaires who commit suicide and happy little indian kids playing with their friends in cesspools!
You and I are somewhere in between. I take pleasure from having a good meal, a nice drink and a nice big shit! what's not to like? hehe.
In all honesty, it's usually ego related. We need to readjust who we think we are and humble right down to what we're actually capable of achieving and sustaining.
If you want to be seen as a genuine hero, go to a third world country and help their community. It will also drastically change you, one would think?
Without pleasure, then nothing in life matters to me including helping others and I might as well just end my life at this point. If I did have pleasure, then these things would matter to me.
