But often following your instincts is seen as negative behaviour (ie. the stigmas attatched to many forms of hedonism such as promiscuous sex -to name the obvious one). And I think it is safe to say that following your instincts is very frequently engaging in some hedonistic activity. Well, maybe there is a different definition of instinct besides eat, sleep, procreate and follow your whims that I am missing?Originally Posted by Aloysha
Granted ignoring these base instincts frequently could definately lead to some inner turmoil (or starvation lol)...but can you really find meaning in them more than anything else, and does happiness automatically imply that there is meaning? Or am I missing what you mean by instincts here...
