"Men are not content with a simple life: they are acquisitive, ambitious, competitive, and jealous; they tire of what they have, and pine for what they have not; and they seldom desire anything unless it belongs to others."
-Plato
I must confess, I'm a man with guilty pleasures. I got to discussing them with friends tonight and wonder why it's something we feel the need to be ashamed of. Wikipedia defines a guilty pleasure as "something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. Often, the "guilt" involved is simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, rather than actual moral guilt. Fashion, music, and food (especially unhealthier foods high in sugar and/or fat) can be examples of guilty pleasures."
