The good is one thing and the pleasant is another. These two, having different ends, bind a man. It is all well with him who chooses the good. He who chooses the pleasant misses the true end. Authenticity matters always, not happiness.

When you choose authenticity, you
achieve a level of happiness which is
totally different. You can see that as
oozing of bliss starts happening.
Understand even goodness binds you
to more and more good till you
become best – highest. Pleasant binds
you.

It is all well with him who chooses the good. If you choose good means authenticity. He who chooses the pleasant misses the true end means the right goal of life is lost. Missing the true end is missing the right goal of life.

Choosing pleasant is not wrong, but not right. Man who chooses pleasant is neither right nor wrong, just left. Remember always choose authenticity even if it does not look pleasant. Medicine is not pleasant but it is authentic. Sugar, Pizza, Coca Cola is pleasant but not good for you.
