Answer:

Epicurus believed that “no pleasure is in itself evil, but the things which produce certain pleasures entail annoyances many times greater than the pleasures themselves.” Epicurus asserts that we neither require to please anyone nor need to search for pleasure and happiness in the wrong places.
