Summary

This quote suggests that pleasure is often self-centered and temporary, focused on personal desires in the present moment. In contrast, joy is portrayed as a more inclusive and everlasting feeling that encompasses not only oneself but also a sense of connectedness with others. It implies that while pleasure may provide immediate satisfaction, true fulfillment and lasting happiness come from experiences that go beyond personal gratification and involve a deeper sense of connection and unity.
