Epicurus affirmed that everything that produces pleasure is good, since pleasure, according to him, is the beginning and the end of a happy life. But for the pleasure to be real must be moderate, controlled and rational.
Epicurus defined pleasure as the satisfaction of the needs of the body and the tranquility of the soul. The human being is composed of body and soul, and the pleasures of the soul are superior to those of the body. In his opinion, inner peace can be achieved by reducing the needs of the body and ending the concerns and fears. Epicurean ethics says that to live a happy life, it is very important to overcome the fear of death; Epicurus said "Death does not concern us, for as long as we exist, death is not present and when death comes, we no longer exist"
For epicureanism, bad is everything that pains the human being. It is the things that make us or affect us in the spiritual and corporal sense, Epicuro pointed out that pleasure does not necessarily have to be a sexual pleasure, but also something that gives us pleasure to do it, such as: quietly breathe in the field or drink ice cream , but above all spiritual pleasures such as quality music or a good book as well.
