WHY the Passion for Pleasure? - Jeff E Zhorne - January 1984

Jeff E Zhorne

Millions indulge in entertainment as a way of escape. Here is a better pursuit! Nearly everyone enjoys being entertained. Yet few realize why entertainment and pleasure do not provide the hoped-for escape from personal burdens or international problems. To be sure, there's plenty to escape from! World leaders tiptoe for fear of making the waves that could climax in nuclear disaster. Mounting environmental and social problems threaten life. Financial worries prove awfully frustrating. So people turn to pleasure, excitement, illicit and licit drugs - including alcohol - illicit sex and new religions all for temporary relief. None, however, can offer true, lasting solutions. But there is hope! A way that leads to peace of mind here and now, as well as into the future. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
