Huge hedonism fan

Mystics are the true hedonists

Hedonism's public image is hurt by dilettantes with little interest in experiencing greater pleasure

Usually they spend all their time miserable and suffering trying to heal from a past momentary numbing of their pain or working to acquire the next one

None of this is fun at all

True hedonists recognize the human condition, in which 95% of every experience sucks, and rebel against it

True hedonists seek at all times to minimize the sum total pain to pleasure ratio

True hedonists eventually seek pleasures that do no fade, that remain sensational and interesting due to their depth and complexity. They want pleasures that will not die or make them die

True hedonists may be obsessed with bodily sensation at an early age, but quickly are driven by their life's mission to appreciate emotional richness, then intellectual richness. And when even in this they find themselves limited, they seek to take pleasure in G-d

Some are so dead and unhedonistic that taking pleasure in G-d never occurs to them

Even a very coarse and lowly false hedonist is in a better position

What if, hear me out, G-d just creates us for the purpose of enjoying things

What if every moral failure is just a failure to take as much pleasure as possible

What if G-d is a vintner standing on the side and wondering why you're still on Mountain Dew

What if He's just waiting for you to sip of a secret barrel of He's been saving for you since the creation of the cosmos?

A true hedonist is not afraid to work, he just wants his work to be pleasure and his pleasure, work

He naturally seeks that which unites dualities, for he recognizes this dual nature to things is the source of pain

He realizes that the good of others is a sublime pleasure, around when he starts appreciating emotions

The true hedonist realizes trust in the Almighty is the only context in which his pleasure is secure

The true hedonist eventually realizes that his own desires pull him away from the contentedness of not being aware; that there is great pleasure in not feeling pleasure, too

The true hedonist wants not just pleasure to permeate his mind but his mind to permeate pleasure, and comes to see the common denominators in all pleasure, the fullness of being, the self-contained lack of want, and sees some holy spectacle where all such fullness converges

The true hedonist sees the non-mystic and those apathetic to the spirit and wonders whether they wish to enjoy things

What if existential angst is just a hedonist wondering where the good stuff's at

What if Ecclesiastes is just trying to give us the best directions to the party he knows how
