Thoughts For Our Time

ence Cardinal McGiiigos .icopyriahtl

with the arrival of summer. peoplels thoughts spontaneously turn toward the prospects of rest and relaxation and as they do so. 3 long chain of businesses, from travel agencies to vacation camps, suddenly come to life to cater to their pleasures. The success of these businesses in , estionabiy in- dicates one thing. We are a pleasure-loving peopl and like to have our fun. Is ere anything reproachabie in th ? awer depends os th value we give to pleasure.

Were we to be udged by those who regard all pl sure as suspect. of evil, and herb a Manichaean- like abhorrence of mnrriasc

undoubtedly in eir eyes fall far short of virtue. Our Views. how- e much too lib- to agree to judg- rizorous standards

point of depriving t perspective regard-

c

Surely. plzasurc as such is not an evil. It just as God-given as are all the other goods mankind possesses. Divine Providence has designed it as a natural accomp- animent of the right use of our faculties and therefore it would be unrcasornble to reject or shun It as sinful.

As a matter of fact, pleasure is intimately connected with our happiness itself and that is why life devoid of all pleasure would be the worst kind of misery.

Hence every normal person in- atinctivcly likes to have fun and it would even appear that every person needs to have some fun in order to remain normal.

But here precisely is where we must tread carefully if we are to avoid making R mistake about pleasure. The reason is that pleas- ure is a. good which is unlike all other goods. It is a byproduct rather than all object of direct pursuit. It is something that lol- lows upon the performance of duty in the same way that a may

to obtain the reward without the right action. Actually, it is an at- tempt to cheat nature-against which nature vindlcates her right by yielding only a diminished pleasure.

This is a point that many people miss today and, by missing it de- prive themselves of the richer depths of ., ' pleasures. An instance. of it is found in the practice of birth control which in the last analysis amounts to a lack of self-control. It is gener- ally conceded that a. truer and deeper pleasure is to be experienc- ed in acting according to nature than against nature, since to act against natu is to act against reason. and t ere can be no thor- oughly ' pleasure in an ac- tion which violatea reason.

Must Possess Good

The first rule about having fun. therefore, is not to seek prlmaruy the fun but rather the object or the right action which yields the fun. Pleasure results from the possession of some good which is other than the pleasure. There is real pleasure in the pursuit and attainment of the goal of life, pro- vided that pleasure itself is not constituted as the goal. And since pleasure is not truly the goal, pleasure-seeking is not the proper attitude toward life. While life's genuine pleasures are acceptable. they are genuine only if they are not sought for thernselms.

This may be a pin point of dif- ference but it is difference enough to separate Christ from Epicurus. Christ's teaching does not con- demn pleasure, although He does condemn the pursuit of mere pleasure. For the epicurean. how- ever, the pleasure itself is the goal and everything else is meas-

ured by it. Hence we need not fear being un-Christian if in taking our

summers recreation we get some pleasure out of it. Life for the Christian should be a joyful af- fair. Does not St. Paul exhort us to rejoice always in the Lord?

complexion follows upon good, health. Thus, we can apply to pleasure our Divine Lord's advice regarding the necessities of life: ”Seek ye first the Kingdom oil God and His justice, and all these things will be added unto you." Transposing the ridmoultion we might say: "seek ye first the per- formance of duty and you Wm find pleasure added to it."

Pleasure Not End

while it is normal. then. and even necessary. to have some fun in. life. it is far from normal, in the sense that it is far from right reason, to seek having fun as the end of one's pursuit. There is fun in doing what nature intends. out we must not try to separate the fun from the intention of na- ture so as to seek only the fun.

Because pleasure is a kind of reward that crowns right action. there is soniething dishonest in iitcmpiing to detach the reward trom the right action and seeking

Literature I And Life (

By BOOKIILAN Ii

SEEN IN A HOSPITAL

For ten years I acted as chap- lain to hospitals in Halifax-the Victoria General. the Infirmary, the T. 3. Hospital, occasionally to Camp Hill and the Children's, and when called, to Grace. I made about two thousand calls a year,- some patients would receive sev- eral calls, that would depend on the length of their stay. They did me as much good as I did them.

I found the nurses uniformly kind and ready to assist me in every way. Over such a period and in such a field, one's exper- ,icnce is varied and interesting. I will mention only three experien- ces. One day I called on a. couple from one of our provincial towns and in the conversation, naturally drifted to domestic matters. I asked them if they had a family. The husband spoke up quite strongly: "No and we don't want any little screaming bothersome things about". I never called on them again. On my next visit, I found that they had gone, but do not think I would have looked them up anyway-.

Such people forget that in due time they shall grow old and more or less alone. While they're young they will not admit it so much. but the years will soon pass -then their domestic poverty will appear.
