why is hedonism bad?

If you live a hedonistic life you will see for yourself. In fact, the fruits of life philosophies are best discovered by experience, not argumentation, in my opinion at least.

It fails to take into account the necessity of moderation.
Too much pleasure-seeking leads to pain, as pic related pointed out.

[Anonymous No.15211041]

Because it’s strongly linked with Nihilism

It isn't, but long-term hedonism basically becomes moderation out of necessity.

Absolutely true. In every argument I've ever had with someone about something that he has experienced but I have only read about, even if my theoretical knowledge was higher and arguments better, I have found myself utterly overwhelmed by their simple and honest conviction. Removing ethics from the practical realm and treating it as abstract is a grave mistake.

If you take hedonism seriously, then you would have to become a monk.

If you're concerned with what is Good, that is, if you read actual philosophy, then hedonism is not really possible.

If not, read Nietzsche if you want to know why hedonism is bad anyways

This. Hedonism is bad because material gratification leads to habituation, and habituation leads to unsatisfaction and suffering.

And also because it doesn't really teach you anything other than to avoid it most of the time, really.

''Those things by which evil men are bound, others turn into means and gain thereby release from the bonds of existence. By passion the world is bound, by passion too it is released, but by heretical Buddhists this practice of reversals is not known''
Hedonism is without attachment is the most based thing possible, to reverse and find liberation through passion.

You see through the illusory pleasure of material reality (example overeating a cake) therefore more easily you're able to let go of it ,turn passion into dispassion and add another dimension of non attached awareness.
To participate in the play of forms yet be completely free from them
