Example

Despite the endless complexity of life there is one pattern that emerges in the lives of nearly all humans: we all want to be happy. In our pursuit of happiness we often indulge in short-term pleasures and dalliances, especially when the long-term pleasures seem out of reach. Although there is nothing wrong with this, it can distract us from a much more important goal: lasting happiness. We all have a finite amount of time in this world, and by indulging in short-term pleasures and dalliances, we use up valuable time that could have otherwise been spent working to attain long-term pleasures and goals.
