But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing 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-bui
lder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, be
cause it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure r
ationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there
anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is p
ain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can pro
cure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undert
akes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But w
ho has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that h
as no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant
pleasure?
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who ar
e so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinde
d by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ens
ue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of
will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These ca
ses are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power
of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what w
e like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in cer
tain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of busines
s it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances a
ccepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle
of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he
endures pains to avoid worse pains. But I must explain to you how all this mist
aken idea of denouncing 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, di
