Oh I'm loaded with anhedonia...I kid you not. So the frick what? Look SonicFan, ol pal, you are doing nothing but asking rhetorical philosophical questions on a forum whose main concern is self amusement and non sequiturs. These are not questions for us to answer or intuit for you but for you to answer and intuit for yourself. Stop typing and start thinking.

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Well, just to let you know, I have actually embraced and complimented that post of yours in the new previous reply I have just made.  So I am not trying to bother others here and am not trying to give them a hard time.
 
Also, what is very profound, great, and life-depending for one person (in this case, my pleasure), then that could be of no importance to another person such as yourself.  I am not you and I cannot understand how you can possibly live a life without pleasure and you are not me and you cannot possibly understand how I can't live a life of no pleasure.

"Pontificating on the profundity of your personal philosophy"...Whew! Just try to say that three times fast. Time for my vocal warm up. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, ME!

I am just gaining intel and insight from you all and nothing more.
 
One last thing I would like to say is that I also live to get a pleasure high off of my compositions.  If, let's pretend, that I were to create a transcending god-like supernatural theme for an awesome anime/videogame character, then I would immediately listen to that composition over and over again in order to get a transcending and profound pleasure high off of it.  This pleasure high would make me powerfully embrace the character and his/her god-like world and I would also feel god-like for having created such an awesome fitting theme for the character.  For me to create a fitting theme for an awesome god-like character also gives me a pleasure high because it is like I am perceptive like those characters.  This is because for me to create a theme that perfectly expresses his/her personality means that I know what true power and greatness is like this character and that I know the personality of this character.  I would be very likely to be admired by this character if he/she were real and I would then be transcended like him/her.  So you can see why pleasure is so very vital to me and my composing dream and that, without it, I can no longer get those pleasure highs anymore which would make me and my life bland, neutral, and nothing profound or great at all.  Pleasure, to me, is not only a human defining life force, but also a transcending god-like defining life force as well.  Without that, I am neither human nor a metaphorically spoken god-like being.  I am nothing more than a biological robot.

Welp...onanism is its own reward, I guess. Rock on, ol pal.

You might be thinking it is silly that I transcend through my pleasure, but it is not at all. You are attributing a false mocking personality to pleasure which is why you would be laughing right now at that statement I made. Pleasure is a very serious and profound experience to me in life. It is not just some pleasant feeling that one would receive after eating a tasty chocolate or being massaged. I mean, that is one personality you could attribute to pleasure. But that is not the type of personality I live by and value so immensely. The attributed personality I live by and value would be very profound feelings of pleasure such as love, joy, motivation, transcendence, etc. Pleasure is a very profound experience. It should not just be belittled and mocked with the title of "mental masturbation" or anything of the sort. Pleasure is all good feelings including love, empowerment, motivation, etc. You would, therefore, be attributing a false personality (value judgment) to pleasure if you were to say something such as that it is nothing more than a disgusting emotion or that it is silly, pointless, mental masturbation, or anything else of the sort.

"silly, pointless, mental masturbation,"......................Sound like anybody we know?

OK - that'll do it.
