pleasure being positive value and pain being negative or anti-value? Is everything in life not fundamentally reduce-able to its pleasure and pain constituents? asking for a friend
I wouldn't know. All I feel is constant pain
the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
Ask yourself what kind of life youre living if it can only be reduced to pleasure and pain
In the vaguest sense, yes, though ultimately I think where you derive those things from matters more, from an objective standpoint (although human morality is more of a collective subjection than it is truly objective, like, say, gravity, or my d*** being in your momโs mouth).
