What is wrong with 'if it feels good, do it'?

Question

If it feels good, why not do it? But try to keep in mind, the golden rule: dont do what you dont want done to you. Now there's a tight philosophy. The ONLY rule or law that should be. What do you think? If it feels good, do you do it?

Answer 1

Often there are serious consequeces.

I feel good driving my car at high speeds, if all of us that feel good did that the road toll would rise by several hundred percent.

Answer 2

i agree

Answer 3

i agree with this

unfortunately it is idealistic and not realistic

for example i feel good naked, and would walk around in public naked if i could. i wouldn't mind if others did the same

but others would not like that done (to see me naked in public) to them

Answer 4

It depends, if you have a understanding of what is right and wrong.  If this is about doing something you think is wrong then my answer is No. If you see no wrong in what your doing then I say Yes go for it. Just remember . Don't let your feelings and desires cloud your judgment. If you have morals and principals. stick with them. You have them for a reason.

    There is alot of things in life that are wrong but make us feel good. Resisting temptation can be extremely beneficial for our future. We just have to do the best we can to stay in character and be true to ourselves.  

I hope you appreciate this.          .

Answer 5

There is aboslutly nothing wrong with doing things that feel good.  

Some would say that "oh then why not just go on a drug binge and never care about anything again?"  Well thats easy, because it does hurt you, and the people around you.  Like you say, there has to be a balance between what feels good and what doesn't end up hurting you and others in the end.  People shouldn't feel bad about indulging in themselves when they can.

Answer 6

If it isn't hurting anyone else, I think whatever you do is entirely up to you. Nothing wrong with Hedonism, when undertaken responsibly. ;)

Answer 7

What's "wrong" with it is it's too broad.

The Golden Rule is just one exception.  Should you do something that feels good to you and doesn't hurt anyone else if it hurts you?

Answer 8

narcissism.

i do it.
