Alright, I will just say these brief things then:
It is only through pain (dysphoria) and pleasure (euphoria) that we become aware of the good and bad qualities of life just as how a sighted person is able to visualize the color red.
Other Person's Response: But doesn't the fact that many people report emotions, real good value and beauty in their lives, and positive/negative experiences independent of those euphoric and dysphoric states you've defined at least give you an open mind that there is something more to life than your hedonism?
My Reply: It does. Maybe the inner light and darkness can take on another form besides those euphoric and dysphoric states then. However, I am not sure on this one. It could be the case that people are only deluding themselves with a false definition here.
