Who cares about the "full spectrum of pleasure"? Should we judge people who have never had sex? Should we judge people who have never used heroin? Life isn't all about pleasure. As long as they're happy and not hurting anyone, just let them live.

- inglor_cz 5y agoI have never done bungee jumping, which many people describe as absolute joy. Therefore I haven't experienced the full spectrum of pleasure probably. Some people who have gone through clinical death describe the experience as intensively joyous. Again, I am not doing that deliberately. So what? Live and let live.
