andrew112's thread about withholding pleasure for the sake of self-discipline spurred another question I have. Recently, I've been trying to live subjectively and make my present moment as enjoyable as possible. However, I am concerned that self-discipline doesn't mix well with this. There's unpleasurable or neutral things to do, of course. How would you say you make your present moment as blissful as possible while balancing these issues?
