              THE DESTRUCTION OF  PLEASURE
The aim of aU culture is to maintain and develop the capacity for pleasure. The ad¬ vantage of an education, of acquiring superior taste, and of getting away from the sen¬ sual and over Into the Intel¬ lectual life. Is that one flnds satisfactions that are more en¬ during.
Nobody denies that there Is pleasure In eating and drink¬ ing. The trouble with these delightful exercises Is that they are limited. No matter how reflned nnd varied a career of material enjoyment may be, after awhile It grows stale.
Most short-sighted human beings Imagine that If they had riches they could be happy, because they would be able to Increase the number of their physical sensations. Their notion of Heaven on earth is to dine sumptuously, to ride In expensive automo¬ bile,*, to have plenty of serv¬ ants, to bedizen their bodies with rare clothes, to load their flngers with diamonds and th?lr skins with perfumes.
One only needs, however, to go and visit the supposed for¬ tunate ones who possess all these longed-for luxuries to be disabused of the idea that such things can make happi¬ ness. You WlU flnd them, as a rule, bored petulant, and vul¬ gar.
Only those can resist the In¬ evitable destructlveness of wealth who have been care¬ fully trained and have learned to appreciate simplicity—to dress modestly, to eat sparing¬ ly, to speak restralnedly, and to conduct themselves unob¬ trusively.
Tliere are those who have long been accustomed to riches who thus manage to attain greatness hi spite of them, and these excite our admiration be¬ cause they are rare. But the goal Is quite as easily attained by the poor as by the rich.
Sensual gratlflcatlon de¬ stroys the Joy of both rich and poor; of the former because they have a superfluity of mat¬ erial satisfactions, of the latter because they crave them.
Shelley says, in his Defense of Poetry: "The end of social corruption Is to destroy the sensibility to pleasure. It be¬ gins by the Imagination and the Intellect as the core, and distributes Itself thence as a paralyzing venom Into the af¬ fections and the very appetit¬ es, until all become a torpid mass in which hardly sensa survives."
