When the ego enters into play, this is accompanied by a mental performance. We anticipate, we judge, we weigh the forthcoming pleasure by trying to know in what way this pleasure will truly satisfy us. We become strained and tense. Our mind becomes agitated. We set up a choice, we apply a strategy, we grasp onto the object of our desire, use it, and then reject it once we are satisfied.
