Men should avoid momentary pleasures which may often lead to greater pains later. They should not be slaves to particular pleasures and desires. They have to master their passions. They need to abandon present pleasures which lead to future pain and be ready to undergo present pain for the sake of future joy. Epicureanism distinguishes between physical and mental pleasures. Mental pleasures are superior to physical pleasures. The body feels physical pleasure only during the duration of it. Physical pleasures are ephemeral. Mental pleasures arise from remembrance.
