No..it's not, lol. It's a misapprehension of hedonism specific to you. -But so what? Is this supposed to make your posts seem more authoritative? You;re not supporting anything, least of all with arguments. You're stringing words together, and even that's a generous assessment with your repeatedly demonstrated ability to contradict the front half of your own sentences with their back ends.
Hedonism states that pleasure is the only real good we should maximize and pain being the only real bad we should minimize. Hedonism is all about being happy and enjoying our lives through our positive emotions. Therefore, I think my worldview has been known and very popular all along and I was just further supporting it. Here is a link which says so:

If you think talking about inner light and inner dark is hedonism, then I'd say you are equally well talking about penguins.
I googled "hedonism inner light," and found that you've been shitting this stuff all over the internet. Good job. You really hit the jackpot with these forums, didn't you?
Again, the inner light and the inner darkness were just my own personal metaphorical terms. But as for this whole idea that it can only be our positive emotions that allow us to judge things as good, that is hedonism.
