00:00We all are such wicked creatures.
00:04We feign helplessness just to extort pleasure.
00:09We cannot even be honest enough to say that I am a pleasure seeker, therefore, I am doing all those things.
00:14We say, you know,
00:17I just fell into pleasure helplessly.
00:20Why didn't you come in time? You know, I just crashed on the bed.
00:24Why didn't you crash on hot burning coal?
00:28Why do you ever crash only on your bed?
00:30Why don't you crash on the commode?
00:32All your helplessness results in pleasure. Have you never seen that?
00:35All your assumptions lead to pleasure.
00:38All your dishonesties lead to pleasure.
00:40So everything is just for the sake of pleasure.
00:43If somebody comes and says, you know, I'm helpless,
00:45just figure out where the pleasure is and you will know the dishonesty.
