Money isn't everything
But to explain how this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain came about, I will lay out the whole matter and explain the very things said by that discoverer of truth, the master architect of a blessed life. For no one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter great pains.
There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain; but sometimes circumstances arise in which toil and pain can bring great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes strenuous physical exercise unless to gain some benefit from it? But who has the right to criticize someone who chooses a pleasure with no unpleasant consequences, or avoids a pain that brings no pleasure?
