    All too often the pursuit of nothing but pleasure ends either:

    In a hotel bathroom with white powder all over their nose and their pants around their ankles

    or

    As a movie.

    I think “pleasure” is the wrong word. I am not sure what the right word is.

    Assuming its it is the best word we have, it makes a perfect justification for religion and atheism at the same time.

    I would argue that a drug-riddled world is not the most pleasurable world. Nor is the pursuit of individual pleasure the most pleasurable path.
