Expressionss with the word PLEASURE

You plan the trip of your life to Europe, spend a few months meeting the top tourist attractions, stay at the nicest hotels, have the experiences you've always dreamed of, meet interesting people and most importantly comes back with a lot more to say and share. But the problem is, now you're back home to your newly-found reality. And what reality is that? you're burdened with debts from your dream trip. But here's what you say when someone tries to take the joy away from you: It may take years for me to clear all my debts, but there is no pleasure without pain. What does that mean?

When you say there is no pleasure without pain, you mean to say that for every pleasure you enjoy, you must suffer some pain. And here's my question: Do you think that's really true? Do you think that idiom applies to everybody's lives? Leave your opinions down in the comment section.

Stolen pleasures are sweetest: do you have any idea of what that means? That is our second expression. Imagine you've had a secret affair for a while and now she's trying to talk you into leaving your actual wife and making that relationship official and public. And since you're far from taking up that offer, here's what you say: Don't you think it makes it more interesting for our relationship to be secret and somewhat wrong? Stolen pleasures are sweetest!

You can also say "stolen fruit is sweetest", which means people often enjoy illicit things just because they are illicit. Just remember what happened to Adam and Eve in Paradise. That apple became sweetest for simply being the only one they couldn't eat. That's it for today guys. Take care!
