While reading chapter 11 about pleasure I would have to say that Aristotle had an outlook at how everything is pleasurable(in the soul if I understood right).  No matter what kind of sensible feeling that you would get there is pleasure involved.  I look at this most because during battles that there is much pain going on, but in the end pleasure will follow.  

I just cannot look at our current situation (financial)  and wonder how there would be pleasure?  Is it that we may succeed in the end and everything will be better or that we can make it through during a time of struggle.  I just have a hard time following how pain will lead to pleasure.  Many painful things that are out there will always stay in ones mind.  I understand that one has conquered a painful time, but I believe that there will always be some form of pain even if there is pleasure.
