Senses are to be handled with care. We have to use our reasoning capacity of our brain to deal with pleasures that attract senses. A famished, bony dog got a dry beef bone as a meal after a week. In pleasure for taste, it bit the bone hardly with its sharp yellow teeth. Due to hard condition of bone, its slender tongue got injured and it started bleeding. But, the foolish dog thought the taste of blood was from bone and started to enjoy the biting without understanding that it was consuming its blood. At last, the dog died due to loss of blood.
When something generates joy, we should use our head power to research about the joy. Think what happens when a rat succumb to senses with a delicious food in a trap.
Leaders in life are leaders of their senses. Great personalities use reason to guide their life. So only, Great Philosopher Socrates says, “Reason everything before you deal.”

becomes by it. " - John Ruskin
