Which might go something like this;
To maximize or gain pleasure some action must be performed.
While a true hedonist chooses the action which maximizes pleasure, other people consider the actions and try to minimize the harm.
And the flip side of course are the people that maximize the minimization of harm for pleasure, hence miss out on a lot of pleasure but take pleasure in thinking that there is a higher reward for it on the end. The clearest example is of course religious people.
Maybe it is easier to start maximizing minimization of harm when one has difficulties attaining pleasures, one either start recycling, gets religious or finds some other higher cause or one might flip and instead start trying to maximize pleasure in any way available, robbing old ladies and kids.
But is pleasure maximization sustainable regardless of path taken with harm minimization or not?
