Ever resting/relaxing (besides as far as is necessary to do the good most effectively) or avoiding pain are essentially hedonistic. Even doing the good with a relaxed pace instead of with strenuous and exhausting zeal is hedonistic and negligent. Prove me wrong.

Strenuous and exhausting zeal are inefficient. Slow and steady maximises the potential for goodness.

partilly agree, but
that's as far as you're indeed doing slow it for maximum efficiency, and not for your own comfort, in which case it should still be strenuous

also, you, me, and everyone else on this baord is posting for their own pleasure
