I have to keep reminding myself of the impermanence of fun and excitement.
You can become so dependent on feelings and pleasant sensation that you long for the next fun time. You join social clubs to do things you enjoy doing with like-minded people - you have fun - but at the other end, you suffer when the fun stops or when the reverse happens for whatever reason.
I am too immodest to try to pull myself away from the fun but I have to remind myself to be mindful, to understand things and happenings for what they really are and for how fleeting they can be, to not get carried away in the current of 'fun'. I think the degree of suffering will be equivalent to the fun you have when you let your mind drift through all emotions.
Should people refrain or just let them pass?
