Hedonism, also called Epicureanism, originated from the Eleatic school in ancient Greece and is the most denigrated philosophy.

Hazards

1. It can easily cause people’s mental decadence.

Hedonism allows people to pursue material enjoyment and physical happiness as much as they want, which can easily make people fall into a state of depression and lack of enterprising spirit.

So, Einstein said: "The ideals that illuminate my path and constantly give me new courage to face life happily are goodness, beauty and truth. I never put comfort and happiness Seeing it as the purpose of life itself - this ethical basis, I call it the ideal of the pig pen." ("Book of Famous Quotes", page 21, Shanghai People's Publishing House, 1983 edition)

2. Meeting. Causing huge waste of social wealth and resources.

People use all means to enjoy and stimulate their senses, which will inevitably cause people to consume a lot of social wealth and make the already tense natural and social resources even more tense.

3. It causes tension in interpersonal relationships and is not conducive to social harmony and stability.

People all take pleasure as the purpose of life, so they must each work for themselves, even if they do not hesitate to base their own happiness on the pain of others. The relationship between people is like a wolf. In this way, the entire society will become a piece of scattered sand without cohesion. It will be difficult to establish a harmonious and stable social situation.

Recently, some people advocate "redefining enjoyment" and "untying enjoyment"; claiming to "abandon those hypocritical civilizations and enter a free spiritual space and state of existence"; and talk about "the history of social evolution" , is the history of the development of enjoyment," "hedonism is the son of enterprising spirit," "people who enjoy enjoyment are not confused, but those who do not understand enjoyment are confused," etc. This argument is extremely wrong and extremely harmful.

In ancient and modern times, it is unheard of for people to achieve great success through greed for pleasure, luxury and corruption. On the contrary, there are countless examples in history of extravagance due to arrogance and death due to extravagance. The idea that by promoting enjoyment can stimulate consumption, invigorate the market, and stimulate economic development is completely absurd, and its approach is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Social development and progress are created through hard work. The growth and spread of hedonism, at any time and under any circumstances, cannot bring about economic development and social progress. Instead, it can only breed the cancer of false prosperity, encourage a culture of despondency, and ultimately ruin the achievements of civilization. The history of social progress is by no means a "history of the development of pleasure."

The times are developing, the level of productivity is improving, and people’s lives are getting richer and richer. However, hard work, as a spirit, has always been a powerful driving force for the advancement of the Communists and an enabler for our party to overcome difficulties and take risks. magic weapon. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, my country has made great achievements in the cause of socialist modernization, but the tasks we face in the future are more arduous, the problems are more complex, and the challenges are more severe. We must not relax at all, let alone be complacent, stop moving forward, and pursue Thoughts of pleasure. The moderate prosperity we have achieved now is still a low-level, incomplete, and very unevenly developed one. There is still a big gap between us and developed countries in many aspects such as economy and science and technology. If the pursuit of pleasure and extravagance prevail, it will seriously harm the cause of the party and the people.

Born in sorrow and dying in happiness. A person who does not have the spirit of hard work and blindly pursues sensory enjoyment will never create a healthy life. The pursuit of pleasure can actually make people "enterprising", and indulgence can also make people "not confused". It is really ridiculous! In recent years, a small number of party members and cadres have fallen into corruption, mostly starting from extravagance, corruption and self-indulgence. The corruption in life leads to political degradation, and the pursuit of pleasure becomes the "catalyst" for their soul distortion and ideological fission. Of course, we have never advocated a Puritan or ascetic life, nor have we denied reasonable material interests and legitimate enjoyment of life. However, as the vanguard warriors of the working class with communist consciousness, Communists shoulder the sacred responsibility and must always maintain the political nature of hard struggle, pursue lofty life goals and healthy life interests, and never Stagnant and never slack off.

Some people may say that "loosening enjoyment" is to improve people's lives. Isn't this consistent with the goal of our party? In fact, the two have nothing to do with each other. In order to improve people's lives, our party has always emphasized that economic and social development is consistent with the all-round development of people, and that the development of material civilization is coordinated with the development of spiritual civilization. It pays great attention to educating and guiding members of society to adhere to lofty ideals and lofty beliefs, Comply with social ethics and subordinate personal interests to the overall interests. However, hedonism, money worship, and extreme individualism are "born". Once hedonism is "unchained", it is tantamount to opening a "Pandora's" box. The result will inevitably lead to the collapse of faith and materialistic desires in the entire society. In the so-called "free spiritual space and living state".

Hedonism is a decadent and decadent thought that runs counter to our party's fine tradition of hard work. Any attempt to promote hedonism is extremely wrong.

Party organizations and party members and cadres at all levels must always adhere to the "two musts", be down-to-earth, work hard, consciously resist the bad habits of seeking pleasure, showing off, and showing off, vigorously promote the spirit of hard struggle, and lead the people to achieve the Party's 16th Forge ahead with determined goals and tasks.
