Pleasure is the outcome of some things which we achieve and often strive for however life is often
more regarding to survival, commitments and getting by as best that we can. However to feel real
pleasure i suppose that we have to understand and have felt pain too. It also depends on a persons
individual outlook to how far they strive to their own or others pleasure and their involvement in
that. |

The state of living for the purpose of knowing only pleasure is a state of being called,
"Hedonism".
Another way to look at it is irresponsibility and self-centeredness.
But life, liberty, right of property and pursuit of happiness are our heritage. |

Survival is the goal of life but because humans have advanced so far with new types of technology
that survival is no longer a serious thing and pleasure is easier to acquire. Animals are a type of
life right? Well if animals are busy out there surviving in cold barren areas then obviously their
lives aren't about pleasure they are just out there to survive. In a extreme situation- stuck
without food or water do you
a. Go play with your wife/husband
b. Kill and eat your wife/husband
c. Search for food and if not possible eat your wife/husband |

Glorifying God is the goal of life. Most of the time that is also pleasurable to me, but
occasionally He is glorified through my suffering (not pleasurable to me). |

I almost voted for this, but had to cast the vote on this side because it ignores the one
demonstrable goal of life: Reproduction.
I totally agree that we're not here to work ourselves to death, give our lives and resources to
imaginary beings (and their flesh-and-blood representatives), or sacrifice ourselves in war. And I
agree that knowledge is pleasure, and furthermore posit that working toward the betterment of
society is a form of pleasure.
But all of it would be incomplete without someone to pass it down to. |

Pleasure is not the goal of life. Knowledge is the goal of life. |

That is so not true. |

Growth is better than pleasure. Most significant growth comes from pain. A person who only finds
pleasure does not fully relate well to those who are undergoing it. Those who have suffered the
most and made meaning of it are generally amazingly wonderful and offer the most. |
