The dilemma of life

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.).
