Four Pillars of life.

Philosophers, Mystics, Gurus, Scriptures and the Vedas have always harped on the four main pillars of human Endeavour.
Eros, synonymous with “desire”, Money, “synonymous’ with “meaning”. Ethics synonymous with societal rules, and finally Liberation, which paradoxically synonymous
With “freedom from desire”

This makes the pursuit of pleasure/desires one of the legitimate or socially sanctioned ends. It adds meaning to an otherwise meaningless existence, and can also liberate, not necessarily through fulfillment, but by insights.

According to Freud humanity’s biggest product is death, followed closely by libido or sex drive. Earlier the withering of desire or loss of libido heightened the appreciation of philosophy or spirituality now with the advent of the sexy blue pill Viagra , has further postponed the joy of liberation; as death is the ultimate celebration/ fulfillment of life.-Vinay-
