i don't like this quote. it's antithetical to my world view. it disgusts. it's a vulgar way to view the world. it's valuing the self over goodness. i don't like any ideology that posits that the self is all there is. what happened to recognizing the goodness there is? why is there only goodness because we are the ones to perceive it? it disgusts, i don't like it. i don't think we can maintain our humanity while thinking this. how are we to improve the lives of others if we are too self aggrandizing to see that we can?

Agreed, but you can't deny it's the predominating worldview, especially in materialistic societies, and we're all attached to it more than we think, whether or not we care to admit it. Ego death in the world is a barely present rarity.

Homosexuals are always obsessed with sex. They only know mama's love, emotional and sexual love, and chase it thinking it can fill them up, but it never can. They never experienced the real thing, the love of their father, which leads you to God's love and gives you that perfect peace.

yeah bourgeois sex addicts and women keep saying this. it is true that sex addict base their life on sex, but sex is not about power and only sex is about sex.

humanists are cancer, never forget this

Sex is fun and very human, but it’s not at all everything, the fact that things other than sex matter to us is what distinguishes us from animals. Also Globalist/Consumerist sex which you see in porn and are led to crave and which you give extreme social importance too is anything but human.

Cicero in the De finibus bonorum et malorum takes issue with Epicurus for making a peculiar statement about pleasure and commentators since have made a dichotomy about this idea and attributed to Epicurus himself. Only recently has there been speculation regarding the merit of viewing Epicurus this way, and whether or not the two (ideas) is not actually one (within the same process). The dichotomy is described as the difference between kinetic and katastematic pleasure. Cicero wonders why Epicurus admits that pleasure is not without the pleasure of eat, sleep, sex, etc., but that the highest pleasure is the pleasure of being “pain-free”. Cicero says “the absence of pain makes for a strange pleasure”. Commentators since have developed on this dichotomy, kinetic pleasures being pleasure ‘in movement’, say the taste and smell, while katastematic pleasures meaning stable, pleasures that result from having satisfied desire. But is there really a dichotomy. It’s interesting that Plato wrote on this very thing in the dialoge the Philebus and he says something Epicurus echoes, that pleasure and pain cannot exist simultaneously. There is a conjunction being made within the intersections of in/out, being/becoming, is/am, and perhaps this says more about the mirror than what stands before us, or how we stand before it, or after it.

Perhaps here to sex is being dichotomized. Is sex, the way you’re thinking of it, a pleasure to be had, or a means by which to attain to another pleasure, peace perhaps? I wonder whether there is a marriage here, a one not without the other. Is there a right idea and does it require something like an order of operation?
