He gives a nice example of temporal material pleasures

I’ve had so many realisations on how no real happiness can be gained through sense enjoyment, and yet here I am, trying to be a ‘normal’ guy outside, but finding it ever-increasingly hard to smile at things and situations that used to bring me some fleeting joy. I went to the temple all of today for the first time since my departure which was wonderful. There was an amazing morning lecture which compared material illusion to the illusion parents create with Santa Claus. They go to so much effort to maintain this fantasy, just to keep their kid happy and enchanted for a few years – presents, stories, elves, grottos, some even pay big money for an authentic trip to Lapland. And yet all this is leading up to is for that dream to be shattered. So no matter how much we’re enjoying this dream-like world, in the end its just gonna be one extraordinary disappointment.

I don’t mean to sound negative, but yes, ultimately all this phantasmagoria – birthdays, trips to the cinema, the new iPod, and your favourite food… this will all ultimately end in old age and death. So there’s gotta be something more right? And we’d be fools not to search for it right?! Ok, so maybe I’m not completely mad.
