Charlie used to be the worst hedonist but, sometime during his stay at his aunt’s place, he realised how pleasure seeking makes people go in the wrong way in life, and changed his ways.

A hedonist is not necessarily be the opposite of an ascetic or an addict; enjoying what one gets in life without having to bother others is how we are meant to be living our lives — even an ascetic doesn’t walk miles on end to reach their destination when there is a better means of transport readily available.

Though most people hate to have hedonists around them, there are people who believe that there is nothing wrong in being a hedonist because happy people have happy minds and healthy bodies which results in fewer health problems; besides, happy people are known to make others happy, too.

In religious scripture the hedonists are considered followers of Satan; however, hedonists argue that too much of anything is bad, including the religion that is supposed to guide us in the right way, but keeping oneself in limits and appreciating what we are offered by Nature is what makes people the ‘desirable Angelic hedonists’!
