To put it better, people CAN'T lead a hedonist's life as something in them would keep on gnawing. <BR/><BR/>We are constantly programmed to have a cause, achieve something, go somewhere... so much so that people are convined that a hedonist's lifestyle must be a myth.<BR/><BR/>Hey sickboy, great having you here.
