In advertisements all the time we can hear, that if we don't buy the car or we don't go for holidays into the determined place, we won't certainly be fulfilled, we won't experience pleasure. But it is an illusion.
Some philosophers thought that we have subordinating values of the life which are most essential for the man, to lower, financial values. We think that we should above all work, to consume, to collect and in this way to arrange oneself life. And when for ourselves we already organise them, we are reaching a conclusion that it, most importantly, already fled us.

That it is possible to say the paradox of this situation consists in it, that with cost of the life we are arranging ourselves life.


Scheler is paying attention for very interesting, that is phenomenon of the asceticism which badly is most often understood.
Incessantly arranging ourselves life, we are putting the pleasure of the life off on later. Very much clearly one can see it, when for people careers in corporations are collapsing: much they are earning, are investing in flats, furniture, good cars, but at some point are making themselves aware: for every that's all, since all the time I am sitting at the work?

They are pressed for time to the walk, the reading and friends. They don't have a time for life. In such a way that he is times suddenly, wanting to free onself, that's all are throwing. And are going into world.

Only then they understand that it will be sufficient to have two sweaters, two pairs of trousers, shoes and it is possible to be a happy man, to experience the pleasure of the life.
