Epicurus, his philosophies just resonate with me, existing for pleasure, and avoiding pain, and to go slightly more in depth, short term pain for long term pleasure beats short term pleasure that could lead to long term pain. It's so simple and perfectly describes how I think.

I love him!

    No pleasure is in itself evil, but the things which produce certain pleasures entail annoyances many times greater than the pleasures themselves.

This is a very very good way of explaining, why the things that deemed bad are really bad.
