Let me explain how the mistaken belief of condemning pleasure and praising pain came about. I will provide a complete account of the system and elaborate on the true teachings of the great explorer of truth, the architect of human happiness. No one dislikes pleasure simply because it is pleasurable. The issue arises when people fail to pursue pleasure in a rational way, which leads to painful consequences. Similarly, no one desires pain for its own sake, but in some cases, pain or struggle may lead to a greater reward. For instance, we rarely engage in strenuous physical exercise unless it brings us a benefit. So, who is to blame a person who chooses to enjoy a harmless pleasure or avoid unnecessary pain that doesn’t offer any lasting benefit?
