The Blades of Grass Is Something That Could Be Deeply Joyful
I'm defending the the blades of grass example because I can literally imagine myself enjoying this task as somebody who's OCD in a certain kind of way in quantitative but now you're ruining these. We don't want a life that's just full of pleasure like we just sit there having a big sugar high all the time we want a life where we do things that are worthwhile if for something to be worthwhile just is for it to be a basic life goal then that mode of reflection doesn't really make sense. What makes counting the blaze of grass joyful is just because it's life okay so it sounds like you reject the the David Hume type picture anyway.
