Priorities

Dear Friend,

Something I seem to be noticing more and more is that a lot of people have really screwed up priorities. Sure, I don't mean they're always malicious; but sometimes in trying to do something they completely neglect a completely much more important aspect of the situation.

Is it more important to make someone really happy, by allowing them to be completely miserable and hurt for a long period of time beforehand so the happiness is an amazing contrast? Or should you allow them to be happy for a long period of time, and then be still really happy?

Should you put someone through pain and suffering to give them a pleasure they had no idea was on the path, or should you tell them what's at the end of the road?

It's just a thought that came to my head recently when discussing a few philosophical things.


I think that no amount of misery and unhappiness at someone's expense makes up for making them happy unexpectedly at the end of the road. Sure, if they're happy going along the path, you can allow them to make what they want of it and then unveil the final stretch at the end to make them really happy. But if they're absolutely miserable not knowing where the path ends, you should really let them know to alleviate their pain.
