Diligence in pleasing lives
Negligence in pleasing self
How can such a paradox live within one?
In giving pleasure to others
Does she attain pleasure to self
Either way
We are all humans
Blinded
Jumping at chances to pleasure self

I think making others happy goes a long way into pleasing ourselves. Those who love to love, love seeing others happy. I love your poem.

Very thoughtful, we all feel the urge to have pleasure at the expense of others.
Well done

I do agree with the great Greek Philosopher, Epicurus...pleasure is the goal...but then it is a fine line between pleasure and pain. A great piece of existential ink Crystalize.

Crystal, I like the message and the conundrum in this piece. Many would say that the only way to fully pleasure yourself is to pleasure another. I think the core of the question, for me at least, is love of oneself. Brava!
