wondered what people thought of the quote 'the path of excess leads to wisdom.' i'm not sure who made this quote, it could have been aldous huxley? jim morrison, the lead singer of the group 'the doors' used it as a personal validation for his excessive 'indulgence' of drink, drugs and sex. but then was he being incredibly selfish just pursuing his own pleasure at the expense of others' feelings or was he living life to the full? one can choose a hedonistic lifestyle and indulge all the senses and live life to the max, or will it end up destroying the person?

really interested in people's thoughts on this!

I wonder if hedonism is addictive?

It's like many things in life, it's fine as long as it does not get out of control. But when such activities start to become dull and unsatisfying, and one starts to be looking for the next 'big thing' to give them the high / satisfaction that they seek - then it is as destructive as any other addiction.

Maybe some people really do 'see the light', and realise that such activities will never bring fulfilment and become wiser as a result. But I think they are in the minority, and that most who get caught up in this continue to strive for more of the same.
