TO THE EDITOR:
The quote by John D. Rockefeller at the bottom of the page Thursday is so untrue, uninspiring and one of the last things I would expect The Daily Tar Heel to include in its paper.
Our everyday lives should be dedicated to seeking pleasure. Though extreme views are never really healthy, pleasure is what the world needs more of. Pleasure can be found in helping others, taking a walk outside, reading a book, writing, seeing a friend, calling a sibling — anything that makes our lives more enjoyable.
The fast-paced, stress-intrigued lifestyle that our culture advocates is unhealthy. We must relax, enjoy and have the mindset that nothing is more pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure. Each person finds pleasure in a different way and if each person has more pleasure, then I cannot see how the world could be worse off. Come on, you all know the most avid readers of the DTH are liberal with an almost hippie attitude — at least acknowledge it.
