What is the best way of life? Like, should we be living to maximize our happiness? Our service to other people? Physical pleasure? Strict adherence to a particular set of religious maxims? Asking for a friend.

The best way of life is being so stupidly rich you and generations of your grandchildren will never have to work a day in their lives, having at least four wives and living in country where the law does not apply to you so you can do whatever the hell you want this guy knows whats up:

You married? Do you have kids or ever want kids? If the answer is no, then go with Hedonism. If the answer is yes, then give up. You just have to do the best you can and be happy with what you have rather than pine away for what you think you want. Or the Conan quote. That's pretty good in life too.

Isn't stoicism technically a "hedonistic" philosophy as it acknowledges that seeking pleasure and avoiding pain is the prime motivator for human action? My understanding was the only difference between Stoicism and Epicurianism (which is what most modern people actually mean when they say "hedonism") was their approach to how that pleasure should be experienced.

It's only this hosed up. I start realizing all this living is just dying and if these are my friends, if this is my home, if this is how i spend my nights, how I communicate, and demonstrate a love of life. My eyes roll into the back of my head, if these are the last words that I've ever said No I'm not ready to die just yet.
