No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.

To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes

Who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure, or one who shuns a pleasure that produces no resultant pain? But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted.

  • For in a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best ;
  • Every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided ;
  • But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted.

The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.
