The Irony of Believing in Guilty Pleasures

[Razard86]

All difficulties in life stem from a lack of Self-Love. What you Love you call Good. One of those things is pleasure. You have created what you call guilty pleasures. Guilt is self-injury, where pleasure is self-healing. If you believe in guilty pleasures you will actually create an addiction. You see the belief in guilty pleasures is a lack of self-love. You judge the action you enjoy doing because you are afraid it will control you and that you have no self-control. This is delusion. You actually have perfect self-control, and only DELUDE yourself into thinking you do not. As a result you form addictions by doing something and then immediately feeling bad around doing it. 

This creates a spiral of engagement, pleasure, immediate guilt, avoidance, then self-denial of that desire, then a build up of that desire, then engagement, pleasure immediate guilt....and over and over again. The only way to overcome an addiction is to stop seeing it as a guilty pleasure and to see it as pleasure. What you don't realize is if you do something you love and don't judge it, it has no control over you. Anything you judge, you make yourself subservient too. So self-judgment can be akin to saying self-slavery. You become enslaved to that which you judge because you frame yourself as powerless in comparison, as worthless, and that the thing you are judging as superior to you. 

The irony is that which you judge as bad, you actually pedestalize, because anything you fear you view as something that has power over you. So look at the irony? When you don't judge something you view it as equal to you, which is the only intelligent way to operate. So there are no guilty pleasures, how can guilt exist if only good exists?
