Joy vs pleasure

I know some people who are in my age range, even in my class, who have been chain smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc., and I know some people who are in my age range and younger than me who have been educators, social workers, etc. Now, what is the difference between these two categories of people?

It's joy and pleasure.

Yes, it sounds like some, but it's actually a huge difference.

The word 'joy' means permanent happiness that doesn't have any dangerous consequences in the future.


Pleasure means temporary happiness, which just gives an adrenalin rush and dopamine perk for a moment but has dangerous consequences in the future.

Many people run behind the short-term happiness that is pleasure because it's easily available to us. But joy is only available in one place, which is our mind.

It's all about the choices that we make. I personally know a girl who is my junior. She is extremely talented and learned the entire 12th subject within her summer holiday( which includes all group subjects as well) to take tuition.



If she wants to enjoy her holidays, she can, but she made the choice to invest her time to earn money.

I want to say that our lives are always in our hands, so live accordingly.

  We have only one life When are we gonna throw out the stage fear? When are we gonna reveal our inner emotions? When are we gonna talk with our own classmate who seems to be rude? When are we gonna confess our mistake? When are we gonna patch up with our ex-friends? When are we gonna learn to ride bikes and to swim? When are we gonna propose to our childhood crush? When are we gonna accept our true selves in spite of wearing multiple masks? When are we gonna have six packs or eight packs in our bodies? When are we gonna quit smoking? Later? After someday? Do it now, because "we have only one life to live."

  It's fine to be a professional in a particular field I know more than 10 school kids who attend swimming class at 6 a.m., daily tuition at 5:00 p.m., dance classes at 6:00 p.m., and finally, karate class at 7:00 p.m. I asked their parents themselves about the classes. They said that it is common to join kids in a bunch of classes. I ask them, What is the reason? They said it is very mandatory to develop skills in different fields. I was shocked. I told them to join the children in one class with the suggestion and willingness of their children, and I assured them that their kids would shine in life when they learned something with interest, but they didn’t care about my words. It is not necessary to be a multi-talented person; it is fine to be a professional in a particular field. We take Vadivelu as an example. Vadivelu is a popular and very good comedian in Tamil cinema. Have you ever noticed a pattern in his comic roles? In all his comic roles, we can notice that he builds h

It's movie time -episode - 1   Virumaandi is a Tamil film that was written, produced, directed, and played by Kamal Haasan. He is also the co-editor of this film. Ilaiyaraaja is the music director of Virumaandi. The first thing that impressed me in this film was the “Ulaganayagan” Kamal Haasan. He is such a versatile actor who has done justice to the role of Virumaandi. In this film, there is a funeral scene that is made as a single-shot scene for more than two minutes where he acts with a half-shaved head. It is a very complicated and difficult scene to retake. In this film, Kamal Haasan uses the Rashomon effect, which is nothing but the technique of storytelling where different characters provide different perspectives and points of view of the same incident. In this movie,we encounter different perspectives on the event from the characters "Virumaandi" and "Kothala Devan." All the songs are super hits in the Tamil cinema industry.
