gng to do hwk now :s
Food fer thot from Broader Perspectives (7 ways to save the world):
"An excessive love of pleasure is just as destructive as an excessive denial of pleasure. The former makes you into a wanton wastrel; the latter turns you into the most unpleasant and judgemental egoist whose motto is "Every martyr for himself and may the best martyr win". "
This is taken from an article on Temperance-my tcher lent it to us fer GP reference-and it's really qte interesting.apparently,not all forms of pleasure-seeking are foul and undesired,smtms indulging in pleasure and sharing your pleasure with others help in making this world a better and happier place to live in.as like in this era of escalating depression (wow kinda an oxymoron), we need to recognise that,as intelligent species made for noble purposes,we can allow ourselves to not totally abstain from "vices" like drinking,partying and sex,because these may very well be the solutions to lighting up our lives.however,we must keep in mind the idea of moderation,for excess indulgence would ultimately ruin the world instead of saving it (as in idealogically and not environmentally,financially or otherwise).
as a conclusion, this statement was made by the author: "live not just to maximise your own pleasure,live to make other people's lives just as pleasurable as well".
