you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and prasing 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.
