Introduction

Epicurean is not just someone who enjoys pleasure, after all who doesn't? Epicurus would have been surprised to discover his name being associated with the life of Agor May. He encourages us to be ready to enjoy the simple delights of plain bread and water. But this does not imply lack of restraint or a thoughtless embrace of every pleasure that comes our way. On the contrary, Epicurus teaches that the most pleasant life is a life of moderation, discipline, and careful planning.
