Why Pleasure Is Making You Weak - The Stoic Guide to Unbreakable Discipline

Pleasure is a double-edged sword. When indulged without restraint, it weakens the mind, softens the will, and enslaves the soul. The Stoics warned that chasing comfort, luxury, and fleeting pleasures leads to dependency and decay. True strength comes from discipline, from the ability to resist temptation and master desire. This is not about rejecting pleasure entirely, but about ruling over it rather than being ruled by it. In this video, we explore why pleasure is making you weak, how it erodes your self-control, and the Stoic path to building unbreakable discipline—one that allows you to command yourself and stand firm against the forces that seek to own you.
