Important vs Fun

What is the most important thing in your life? Got it? Ok. Now, separately, what is your favorite thing to do for fun? Got that? Good. Now for the kicker. Does the former suffer from the latter? If not, then thats great! Congratulations on your well-roundedness! Otherwise... You get the idea. True joy is out of reach when critical components are ousted by temporary pleasures.
