Avoiding the pains of existence is more than merely ‘not bad’. It is good.
Judging the absence of pleasure to be ‘not good’ is also too weak.Of course the absence of pleasure is not what we would call good. However, the important question, whentheabsence ofpleasure involvesno deprivation for anybody, is whether it is also ‘not bad’ or whether it is ‘bad’. The answer, I suggest, is that it is ‘not good, but not bad.
