When we view pleasure as all there is to life, not recognizing the source of all pleasure as God, we become distanced from God, cutting ourselves off from the main supply. When we use pleasure to mask our pain, we only increase our pain, thus needing bigger and bigger hits of pleasure to hide our pain. The gift of pleasure that God has given us then turns into a negative force in our lives.
-Mark Sayers, The Trouble with Paris
