I didn't get it, what was the final message? Turn frustration into work or turn into pleasure? Is this a problem statement or a solution? I was taken here through a facebook post about BDSM. So vague lol
Obviously, I can't talk on Phillips' behalf. But I have read a few of his books and kinda familiar with some of his thoughts. Based on my understanding and experience, Phillips is not a fan of *final messages*. He takes you to a journey in his essays. He makes you feel something (ideally new). It is as if he tries to provoke the readers to wonder about new ideas, possibilities and experiences... Hope this makes sense.
i agree with @faiz shah. I think he is suggesting that we are less phobic about frustration - rather than trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible we should try to find ways of putting up with it or even seeing if we can use frustration positively. Otherwise we try to try our frustration into pleasure either by enjoying our own suffering or by trying to enjoy making others suffer.
