ta, luv.
kuz, do you remember reading the hunger artist? i think it was that story in particular that made me realise that there is no human motivation apart from hedonism.
the hunger artist achieves pleasure through the pain of self-denial, and, as such, he is as much a hedonist as the letcher or the glutton.
santa teresa de avila sought extasy through abstinence and was thus fulfilling her baser desires for pleasure perhaps even more wantonly than jezebel.
interesting, anyway...
