But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth,

• the master-builder of human happiness.
• 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 consequences that are extremely painful.
