Sounds like your hormones honestly!. Especially if you are a man between the ages of 15-23 you usually are trying to find yourself and you'll find that you never will!. You just live your life and every day your actions, words, people you meet, and things you hear will help form your personality!. You have nothing to lose and all to gain!.In other words, your personality doesn't stop growing until you die!.Have fun and live your life but do it right!. Just think about where you are going!. Its good to plan things in your life but it wont always turn out like you plan it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you have a Substance Abuse Problem !? Are you eating a lot of junk food, and drinking lots of Soft Drinks !? That'll do it ! For some PLEASURE that won't lead to STUPIDITY , here's a Thought!.How about doing something for someone less fortunate , like volunteer work for a local Charity, Homeless Shelter, Meals-On-Wheels , etc!. !? When you do something that really makes a Positive Difference , you can really feel good about yourself, and that will definitely lead to PLEASURE without STUPIDITY !Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, pleasure does not necessarily lead to stupidity; on the other hand, Stupidity spoils Pleasure!

Moderation is the key!. Nothing is for its own sake!. Happiness is a By-product (so said ancient Aristotle)!. Hedonism is not a complete philosophy - in fact, it is no philosophy at all!.

So, if I were you, I would continue to have a good old time, but not ALL the time!. I would take a little time off, to be by myself, reflect, learn, and do what good I can to others!. And then, I will meditate - not necessarily on "God", but just meditate - I found Transcendental Meditation very satisfying!. Friends have told me that their solution was the Buddhist Vipassana Meditation!.

And of course, your harmones!! Grow up!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

lust, my friend!. but isn't it wonderful!
it's strange how nothing in the world matters when you've got endorphins, hormones and oxytocin surging through you, huh!?
chemicals are fascinating!.
ps - hedonism is good!. don't fight it!. but be careful not to get consumed by it!.

edit: girl who's name is 36 weeks pregnant, your answer just got to me in a really weird positive way, seriously!. it made me feel a lot better about everything!.
i'm not being sarcastic!.

Gosh I thought I was the only one going through this

I can't explain it either

Its like some kind of internal revolt for me!. Giving into frivolous pleasures!.!.!. Flip flopping all over the place can't make up my mind and being rather flaky- I feel like the Pisces fishes!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
