Pleasure vs. Joy

Pleasure vs. Joy

Joy is very interesting because. It, as soon as you can approach life in a joyful manner, things just happen more efficiently. The natural state that we are meant to be in is one of joy, grace and gratitude. These are our natural human tendencies because in them is where love resides. The pursuit of pleasure, however, could put us on a path of obscurity and unimportance. In this episode inspired by Donald J. Robertson's @DonJRobertson "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor," wherein we are reminded of Hercules' choice to follow the path of Vice, or the path of Virtue. Which path do you think he took? Jim and Tanya also discuss ways to recognize not only when you take the path of vice, but also what to do when you are on it.
