Pleasure cannot be the top priority, but life cannot be too serious all the time. Hedonism is a trap. Perfectionism is a fantasy. The balancing act occurs over a long horizon, and it accepts that the body is finite and imperfect. The point is not flawless virtue. The point is principled living, with room for genuine rest and spontaneous joy where it naturally arises.
