Short Term Pleasure vs. Long Term Happiness

Short Term Pleasure vs Long Term Happiness

Desire / flesh vs discipline, logic, critical thinking, foresight into the future.

Nature is very short sighted. What can I get now. What can I do now. How can I make money now. How can I get this person now.
Discipline puts some restrictions. My today activities will impact my future. 

Society is subscribed to our desires / feelings / nature. Feelings / flesh are fickle (changing frequently). It leads us towards destruction. One can realize easily that our route is not safe. Every action has consequences. Whether you like it or not. If we continuously keep on following our desire over discipline / foresight. Today we are trapped in short sighted thinking. I'm victor of my circumstances. I'm not victim of my circumstances as I'm told most of the time. We have been accustomed by the nature of short cuts, easy going life. Everything worthwhile in this world requires hard work, discipline, integrity, love. Checks and balances in eating and other desires are needed. These drag us to unresolved trauma. Short sighted decisions lead us to worse decisions. Morality and integrity are getting thinner and thinner. People are avoiding marrying and having relationships and having children. Leading to animal life without any moral values. People react instead of response. We need therapies to have self-awareness. Every success needs plan, hard work. Personal accountability is accepting the role. Owning, not blaming (Blaming is victim mentality). Personal responsibility means taking action. self-awareness. Personal accountability, Personal responsibility to make better decisions. Not blaming others for their mistakes.
