\hypertarget{x-section-aa}{\section*{Section AA}}
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken
idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain
was born and I will give you a complete account
of the system, and expound the actual teachings
of the great explorer of the truth, the
master-builder of human happiness. No one
rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself,
because it is pleasure, but because those who
do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally
encounter consequences that are extremely
painful. 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 laborious
physical exercise, except to obtain some
advantage from it? But who has any right
to find fault with a man who chooses to
enjoy a pleasure that has no
annoying consequences, or one who avoids
a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
I refer you to \hyperlink{x-section-aa}{Section AA}.
