I think I would like to post something wise. Only I have read so many books I think everything I think is wise is something someone else already wrote and posted in their book. Now if what they said was exactly what I think and post that than I would think I thought it first. At least until I figured out who did. Now who was my favorite philosopher?

 

I think it was the one that said, We all seek pleasure! No one seeks to have harm befall them.

 

Since I put it that way! I wonder if Epicurus would mind?

 

Now this is what Epicurus wrote.

Epicurus makes the following claims about human happiness: Happiness is Pleasure; all things are to be done for the sake of the pleasant feelings associated with them. False beliefs produce unnecessary pain; among the false beliefs are, that the gods will punish us and that death is something to be feared.
