Pleasure and Pain

Add comment July 27th, 2004

The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
- Anthony Robbins


My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
- Anthony Robbins

Sad state of affairs

Add comment July 17th, 2004

Zhenzhen has returned from a couple months in China a few weeks ago. Shortly after, she contacted me, upset, telling me how bad things were for her. She didn't go into details, and I still don't have any details. However, her husband has since been using her online chat program, pretending to be her and talking to her contacts. It's frustrating to me that women I care about go off and marry losers who use and abuse (eg. her and also Wakana). I guess this is the cost that foolish asian women pay for wanting to get married before taking the time to get to know their potential husband.
