ParticipantYeah they’re not exclusive. Didn’t mean to imply that. I suppose you could even have a policy of being hedonistic only odd numbered days and charitable the rest of the time. Could you truly be charitable and hedonistic at the same time? Not sure.
I still don’t agree with this last of yours:
“it’s only my perception of it that really matters. Because when I die, I won’t perceive anything.”Your works can outlive you. I agree they won’t matter to *you* (religious predictions aside), but they still could matter to others.
I didn’t know any Stevie Ray Vaughan tunes until he was already dead (unfortunately). They may not matter to *him* anymore, but they do to me…
Children and grandchildren of course are obvious examples of “works” that will likely outlive you.

ParticipantWow. I’d have to say this thread has been hijacked.
The “life is only about my own mind and body and the stories I can tell about it” approach is kinda depressing to me.
If you do good for someone else, true, *you* can only experience your perception of your good work, but in fact, if you really helped that person, then their life is changed and you have indeed affected something external to yourself.
Over the course of a life you may be able to affect many many others positively…
I guess that would be one strategy for a life.
Another might be pure hedonism. Why not.
Equally valid approaches I guess. Although given we live in an interconnected society, I guess some approaches are more beneficial to the “tribe” than others…
