5. Lying, Cheating , Stealing (Is it ever ethical to lie, cheat or steal, and if so what would be the circumstance?)
I don’t have a name, but I’m a very interesting philosophy. I am focused on pleasure and my name is Hedonism. Not many people are devoted to me because I’m am rather complicated and tend to like excesses. I don’t have ethics and I could care less if I cheat, lie, steal because I only focus on my own pleasure. I think it’s morally good to that if it means I or the person that follows me finds pleasure in doing it. Lying, cheating, or stealing are things that aren’t important in life, it is something out topic if you do it or not. The main idea of being hedonist is to have a good life focusing or basically looking for pleasure in anything you do, no matter the well being of others. Although there are various types of hedonist ideas we all focus on the pleasure of oneself and nothing more. For most people lying, cheating, and/or stealing would be morally and ethically wrong or very incorrect because this could cause other people to be damaged or hurt. Other people could be highly damaged if being cheated or lied to, and if being stole they could even get hurt or be in danger by any circumstances. Fears can be outcome and mental pleasure can be achieved easily or at least something like that was what Epicurus, a Greek philosopher who lived in the fourth century. This is similar to the Buddhism. Hedonism doesn’t constitute a complete morality because it only focuses on oneself.
