We're only on this world for limited time. What's wrong with filling that time with pleasure?

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Life isn't about pleasure, it's about finding purpose. Pleasure is a coping mechanism, not the answer.

When the good feelings go bye bye you'll feel worse than ever before. And they always eventually go bye bye

Plus a lot of hedonistic tendencies usually neglect the lives other people

I could write a whole dissertation on why hedonism is terrible, but I'll make it short: It breeds selfish behavior.

And maybe, just maybe, all behavior is selfish. Can pleasure be defined so simply as chasing the simple i puts that define flesh? Could achievement be also derived down to the point of earthly pleasure?

No, all behavior is selfish, that's an absolute certainty. The point is to be the least selfish, or the most selfless--as close as you can get. Just because there are no 100% selfless deeds does not mean that we should be 100% selfish.

Can the two be separated? A scientist curing cancer is venerated regardless of whether he or she did it for fame or humanitarian reasons.

Follow your bliss. That's all I have to say.

Because hedonism leaves you exposed to unwanted danger and pain.

Besides, if you're gonna do drugs for the rest of your life, where are you gonna get the supply? You need to sustain yourself to keep yourself alive, and you need a steadfast supply of drugs. It's just not reasonable. Even if you choose to be hedonistic for a little while, there'll be consequences for you later.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
Well generally, when the highs are really high, the lows are really low.

And it isn't easy to maintain 'highs' like that, so you often just get stuck in the lows, suffering even more.

Of course, you can live your life however you want to, just be mindful of consequence.
