84:8.4 There is real [[danger]] in the combination of restlessness, [[curiosity]], [[adventure]], and [[pleasure]]-abandon characteristic of the post-Andite races. The [[hunger]] of the [[soul]] cannot be satisfied with [[physical]] [[pleasures]]; the [[love]] of [[home]] and [[children]] is not augmented by the unwise [[pursuit]] of [[pleasure]]. Though you exhaust the [[resources]] of [[art]], [[color]], [[sound]], rhythm, [[music]], and adornment of person, you cannot hope thereby to elevate the [[soul]] or to nourish the [[spirit]]. [[Vanity]] and [[fashion]] cannot minister to [[home]] building and [[child]] [[culture]]; [[pride]] and [[rivalry]] are powerless to enhance the [[survival]] qualities of succeeding [[generations]].

84:8.5 Advancing [[celestial]] [[beings]] all enjoy [[rest]] and the [[ministry]] of the [[reversion directors]]. All [[efforts]] to obtain wholesome diversion and to [[engage]] in uplifting [[play]] are sound; refreshing [[sleep]], rest, recreation, and all pastimes which prevent the boredom of monotony are worth while. [[Competitive]] [[games]], [[storytelling]], and even the taste of good [[food]] may serve as forms of [[self-gratification]]. (When you use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt salt] to savor [[food]], pause to consider that, for almost a million years, man could obtain salt only by dipping his [[food]] in ashes.)

84:8.6 Let man enjoy himself; let the [[human]] [[race]] find [[pleasure]] in a thousand and one ways; let [[evolutionary]] [[mankind]] explore all forms of legitimate [[self-gratification]], the fruits of the long upward [[biologic]] [[struggle]]. Man has well earned some of his present-day [[joys]] and [[pleasures]]. But look you well to the goal of [[destiny]]! [[Pleasures]] are indeed [[suicidal]] if they succeed in destroying [[property]], which has become the [[institution]] of [[self]]-[[maintenance]]; and [[self-gratification]]s have indeed cost a fatal price if they bring about the collapse of [[marriage]], the [[decadence]] of [[family]] life, and the destruction of the [[home]]—man's supreme [[evolutionary]] acquirement and [[civilization]]'s only [[hope]] of [[survival]].
