In life, our objective and purpose should be to wholistically sharpen our minds and intellects, side by side with the bettering of our health and bodies, so that we can become holistically intelligent beings in able bodies. The purpose of such is the pursuit of mental clarity. A sharpened and keen mind is one that questions and seeks to understand the nature of things, that asks what is it that allows such and such to function, and then questions and seeks to understand how somehting may be improved, or bettered. Always, its objective is to understand purpose.

Anything that detracts from such an objective should be avoided. But to say so is to preach a path wiothout cognizance of the human condition; of temptation, and more importantly, of the need for balance. One cannot rigidly avoid all things that do not sharpen the mind or better the body; for that is to beleive that we do not require deliverance from temptation. It is far better, more realistic, and ultimately more prudent, to actively seek to balance the pursuit of a sound and keen intellect and body, with the pursuit of pleasure that gives expression to the lower senses and desires of mankind. It is only when the former is acheived in a balanced fashion that the spirit of us is nurtured in a beneficial way, such that its nourishment leads us to desire that which elevates the intellect and perceptive quality of our senses, far more than the sensual pleasures that allow expression to our lower senses and carnal desires.

Ultimately, it is the outweighing of the desire for the indescripable pleasure one gains from perceiving life with clarity, that will annihilate the desire for descripable pleasure.
