“We may also choose to accept pain if, by doing so, it results in greater pleasure.” — Epicurus
From the Letter to Menoceus, this quotation is related to another one of my favorites from Epicurus:
“Frugality too has a limit, and the man who disregards it is in like case with him who errs through excess”:https://www.epicswerve.com/quotations/frugality-too-has-a-limit/
Both quotations underscore the fact that Epics do not avoid pain for the sake of avoiding pain.
