Guilty Pleasures are good for you!

"it's all a sham....we were meant to be happy"

Our society is one that idealizes the virtues of the pleasureless. Since we were kids we have been conditioned to believe that hard work, sacrifice and restraint are essential to a successful life. Society has condemned and in some cases even made pleasures illegal. They sucked the fun right out of life!

It's occurred to me that that this funless life they want us to live is a means of controlling us. The harder they can get the less fortunate to work, the greater rewards for the ruling class. The wealthy have always had their guilty pleasures, they just don't want everyone to get in on it. Great for the ruling class, crappy for the underlings.

Somehow we need to break the old mentality. Fun and easy is good, needs to replace hard and difficult. We need to recognize that we can have it all and we don't need to fall for those despicable lies like; keep your nose to the grindstone, the only way ahead is sacrifice and in order for you to win someone has to lose. Bullcrap!

The first step in changing this mentality is to put yourself fully into some former guilty pleasure. I care not if you get off on chocolate, wine or sex. The next time you decide to indulge....really get into it. Savour the moment and tell yourself it is not only good for, it is essential to your well being. It is the first and essential step towards a better life. Let your subconsious know that you deserve the good stuff. Learn to enjoy to the max, its important.

Now if you will excuse me there is a lemon pie waiting for me!
