That's okay. Thank you princess! It's a pleasure to have such lovely friends.
.. Since 'Tom's, last expressive noun, {according to my locution research}, was 'pleasure' - The following News- page, link, was discovered, by 'moi' {just now}, under that same word.. and seemed to be, almost 'beckoning' to be posted ! o: .. Cheers!

Pleasure ed. Yeah pleasure and pain.
The pattern that defines our existence I guess.
The pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain.
Is there anything more to life or who we are?

I guess some people experience pain in the name of a cause. Or forfeit pleasure.
I guess it's undefinable that people can rise above the pleasure pain dynamic.
Even the fight to survive struggle.

Pain is more intense than pleasure and there is more pain than pleasure in the world....
Taylor Swift is just a pretty face...
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom....

don't forget pride. Pride is the killer...
.. Probably, it's due to your own inter-active, experience, 'exnos'.. Of Not being able to relate, to that facet of human personality.
.. Anyway, 'Pride' when used, in a Negative sense.. Quite often, goes unnoticed, until long afterwards.. Involving, Fear of rejection, perhaps - In Not approaching, other 'cliques' of people.
I, personally.. did Not, Fully realize it, way back when.. But, Fear-of-rejection, {along with pride}.. Effectively, put the 'brakes' on what social opportunities, there were.. <-{not much, to begin with!}.. Throughout, the Greater part, of my 1950s & '60s', 'growing up' experience!
.. Other than, my 2 older {blood}, brothers - At, age '66'.. I'm Still, mostly, a 'loner'. o:
Yeah pride is the killer Mexi...
We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people....

PRIDE.
Been dethroned mind almost lost, gotta get zoned, look up to the cross. Humility has arrived, amazed I’m still alive.
I invite her in, pride shoves her out. She’s a jealous bitch, we…begin to shout.
She begins to boast, eyes burning with flames, “you need me, I set you free I give you delight, I’m your light, now GIVE UP THE GHOST!”
When I’m with her, I’m at peace. With you? my happiness begins to cease; anger and bitterness kicks in. I’m destined for destruction.
You are my vial filled with poison. Wanting to divorce from society, I lose my smile draped with anxiety. You’re the daughter of perdition.
PRIDE
The real meaning of persona is a mask, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it.
Schopenhauer
Beautiful country but the climate isn't particularly agreeable.
That's why we Englanders love to travel I guess. Follow the sun.
