The word ‘hedonism’ comes from the ancient Greek for ‘pleasure’. In general, pleasure is understood broadly below, as including or as included in all pleasant feeling or experience: contentment, delight, ecstasy, elation, enjoyment, euphoria, exhilaration, exultation, gladness, gratification, gratitude, joy, liking, love, relief, satisfaction.

Let’s look at this hypothetically, one could get pleasure from not paying taxes. One could get pleasure from not following laws they don’t agree with. There are Hedonistic serial killers.

So the question becomes apparently I can do whatever brings me pleasure, even to the detriment of others. Where does that leave society?
