00:00We are continuously being told that the purpose of life is pleasure and happiness.

00:05If that is the highest that you can have in life, why must you not be prepared to pay

00:11any price for it, tell me please?

00:13If your culture, your conditioning, your education, your media, your family, your school, your

00:18entire environment is telling you that you exist to be happy, then why must you not do

00:24things that make you happy?
