Make the world better by baking cake.

If they aren't extraneous to each other entirely.

No reason to let a lack of suffering hold you back.

No, because cake is full of sugar.

So?

Oversimplification

Cake does not make the world a better place.

Pie does

lol

I mean too much sugar isn't good for you but it's nice for a special occasion.

Yes, but does it make the world a better place.

You're going to create suffering for yourself in one way or another: either through hedonistic indulgence that leads you through the throws of passion or through the life of the ascetic who suffers until he wants not

Does it address all of the unnecessary sin and suffering.

I'm not telling you to eat cake all day like goddamn.

Or is it "just nice"

Nor am I

I'm not saying it's a binarily bad thing either

But does it actually produce good

It's not like there aren't spiritual paths based around sex and indulgence

In the vast view of things.

Sure it produces good.

Cake is nice.

Having fun is nice.

Sure

But should we do too much of it?

No

We shouldn't do too much of anything.

By definition it would be too much.

But cake

Does not make the world a better place.

It's not needed

Yes it does

To make the world a better place

That's your flesh talking

Not your spirit

The world is better with cake
