Why do people often choose the path of 'Preya' (the Pleasant) even when 'Shreya' (the Good) is also available, as detailed in Chapter 17?

As described in Chapter 17, people often choose the path of Preya because they are conquered by its immediate appeal. This choice stems from a lack of discrimination and detachment, coupled with a strong obsession with worldly objects like gold and women. The text notes that for the dull-witted who are caught in the cycle of maintaining their body, family, wealth, and status, Preya alone seems sweet and desirable. Even when both paths are presented and the choice is within one's own control, the powerful greed of the senses can distract the mind, making it difficult to discard the pleasant in favor of the ultimately more beneficial path of Shreya.
