Sorry about the popping. Microphone issues are sorted for the next installment.
I know the old music was classic but I wanted to scrub these of all potential copyright concerns.

@ChadC919 Know ye the pleasures in the small things, for there's joy in an apple and is attainable, O ye fools who get impossible pleasures, for ye are blind I tells thee. And is it not small pleasures like the joy of empathy that bring forth selfishly thy own happiness? - Confessions of a clever man.

I'm an Epicurean and a tiny bunch of olives, small wine, veg (small quantities), while doing justice (not breaking the law), decency (using wisdom w/o vanity or idleness to distinguish good from evil, for example a bee stings and brings pain whereas a listen to music does nothing and therefore can't harm you), is in fact realistic. If I went to an amusement park it does no harm to see the animals, whereas fear brings pain so I wouldn't even watch a horror film any more. Knowing good from vice.

nothing of friendship and altruism? Epicurus was pretty big on that

The Stoics did not think that pleasure was a kind of vice and was therefore bad. The Stoic sage is someone who, among other things, experiences joy in existing in the world, which is certainly a kind of pleasure. The Stoics did warn against becoming attached to pleasurable experiences and being governed by their pursuit. But there is nothing wrong with pleasure per se. Cf Marcus Aurelius who wrote that one could be virtuous even in a palace.
