TXT DA INSERIRE this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness.

No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who any right to go with a man that has no annoying consequences, that resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.
