Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Edwardo Piet]

 Intrinsic doesn't really mean what you guys are having it mean.

*ahem*

I think suffering is intrisically bad. Suffering in the short run is only justifiable if it decreases suffering to a greater degree in the long run.

Seen as I clearly do understand what 'intrinsic' means (and how utterly ridiculous to think I don't understand what such a basic word means) and you think my understanding is incorrect that makes YOUR understanding incorrect because we can't both be right (and I am right so you're wrong). Maybe you don't understand what intrinsic means, Bennyboy.

I do think suffering is intrinsically bad, or IOW, bad in its own right, in and of itself. In case you didn't know it's as opposed to extrinsic or IOW instrumental or not in and of itself.

A small amount of intrinsically bad suffering in and of itself is obviously superior to a larger amount of intrinsically bad suffering in and of itself. If you disagree then I don't think intrinsic means what you think it means, Bennyboy. It does NOT mean absolute or incapable of breaking down into different degrees of intrinsically bad/good.

Something very bad in and of itself is worse than something slightly bad in and of itself.

It's BECAUSE I think suffering is intrinsically bad in and of itself this makes suffering in the short run justifiable if and only if it decreases suffering to a GREATER DEGREE in the long run.

Maybe you should get a dictionary. I once spent 8 months reading nothing but every single day. Maybe it would also help if you weren't crap at philosophy.

I think you guys have a surprisingly good ability to craft sentences and paragraphs, given your inability to use a dictionary.

I have frequently noticed throughout my life that people who are too stupid to understand many things are very fond of labeling verbosity as nonsense regardless of how correct and accurate it is even when it is indeed correct and accurate.
