The dilemma of life. Those things that I want to do, that I desire to do, that would give great pleasure, I shouldn't do because they are bad for me and will make me unhappy in the end (Examples: illicit sex, eating delicious delicacies that taste good but make you gain weight, drinking alcohol, etc.); and those things that I don't want to do, don't enjoy doing, I should do because they are good for me and will make me happy in the end (Examples: hard work, self-discipline, modesty, taking the time to do a job right, constraining myself to always telling the truth, always doing the right thing, etc.).
