If there is no afterlife
How can you argue against living a happy life?
Hedonism > Everything Else
Charles Morales
Jaxon Hughes
What is pleasant is good, and what is unpleasant evil.
Plato proved this.
But Plato was a utilitarian, not a hedonist. So he posited that whatever was unpleasant at first, if that unpleasantness was exceeded by the pleasantness created by that action at a later time, then it was justified.

Leo Wright
Plato also believed in an afterlife.

results in pathetic weak cunts living for the next hit of pleasure, not for life or experience.

And I can tell you, the conclusion he came up with is much better than hedonism. Wouldn't it be an ultimate eventual pleasantness, despite that initial unpleasantness of loss of control of one's life, to believe that we are subject to a divine entity? In a way, using utilitarianism, I have just proved the concept of heaven exists. Because it very well should. And thus, having this logic as God intended, I am making this post telling you that the utils gained by society as a whole initially far exceeds the disutils gained by you in your hell, where I am sure God will be forgiving but shouldn't be because you made the borderline retarded assumption that because there is no afterlife you should be hedonistic; instead of formulating your logical argument the other way around and saying that because everyone should pursue pleasantness, there must be a heaven.

Happiness is a lower tier sensation
It's like keeping eating children's candy when you're adult because "it tastes best"

Happiness is not a virtue to strive for and certainly not something to underpin your every motivation on
