    This document discusses the English language and analyzes a passage about pleasure and pain. In 3 sentences: The passage argues that people do not reject pleasure itself but instead reject irrational pursuits of pleasure that result in pain, and that people also do not seek pain for its own sake but sometimes endure pain for future pleasure. It asks rhetorically who would undertake difficult physical exercise without expecting some benefit from it, or who could fault a person for enjoying pleasure that causes no issues or avoiding pain with no upside.

    Estudo acerca da língua inglesa

    "But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and
    praising pain was born and I will give
    you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great
    explorer of the truth, the master-
    builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself,
    because it is pleasure, but because
    those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that
    are extremely painful. Nor again is
    there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it
    is pain, but because occasionally
    circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To
    take a trivial example, which of us
    ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from
    it? But who has any right to find fault
    with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or
    one who avoids a pain that produces no
    resultant pleasure?"
