Obviously, there is more than one way to become aware of the good and bad qualities of life. Your continued misapplication of a fundamentally dubious analogy does nothing to discredit a reality with which it is in contradiction.
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.
You may prefer some specific way, you may think it's the best way, but that's all you can do in the face of the fact that people in this thread, all over the world, and for all of recorded history, have leveraged things other than their euphoric and dysphoric states to both become aware of and describe what is good, or bad. I think that your preferred method of distinguishing a moral good from a moral evil is hilariously inept, topped only by the inanity of both claiming it to be the only way...and the manner in which you've attempted to establish that this is so.
"I think that making me feel good is the only True Moral Good"
-Why do you think that?
"Because it makes me feel real good."
O-kay..............
I respect your point of view and I think this was an interesting discussion even if you didn't think so. At least, it was an interesting exercise and discussion for me. But if you read the other person's response and my reply to it in that post, then I said that I was willing to keep an open mind, but wasn't really sure though. I just hope that, someday, there can be an alternative form of real good value (inner light) in my life besides my euphoric states. With all of that being said, I would like to present to you my artistic view of my positive emotions which holds profound meaning to me. I presented it to you in a previous post, but you have said it was too long to read. That is the reason why I trimmed it down part by part.
