Those who do not know how to follow pleasure with reason are those who suffer great pains. Nor is there any one who loves the pain itself, because it is a pain, and wants to achieve it, but because such times do not never happen that great pain is loved by labor and pain, and the result is a gain.
I am sorry to say that no one should exercise any kind of work unless he gains some benefit from it. Do not be angry with the pain in the reprimand in the pleasure he wants to be a hair from the pain in the hope that there is no breeding. Unless they are blinded by lust, they do not come out; they are in fault who abandon their duties and soften their hearts, that is toil. But that you may see whence all this error is born.
I will open the whole matter to those who accuse pleasure and praise pain, and explain the very things which were said by that discoverer of truth and, as it were, the architect of a happy life. For no one despises or hates or runs away from pleasure because it is pleasure, but because great pains result to those who do not know how to follow pleasure with reason. Nor, moreover, is there any one who, because he loves pain, pursues it, wants to gain it, but because such times never occur when he seeks some great pleasure through labor and pain. Some have to drink from the lake, who has no dignissi pass. But for the young man, to drink at pure beer, the greatest employee is the torturer. But the throats and the land of soccer. But Fringilla is expected to mourn.
