#### Structure and formatting ####

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
|
|
|
##### Pleasures #####
|
|
When the author thought about the pointlessness of life, he decided to fill it with pointless pleasures. He believed that this type of living would have no effect on the world. Therefore, he indulged in every type of pleasure.

|
##### Assumed knowledge #####
|
|
It is assumed that the author is going to reject the way of living in this chapter. He is certainly not encouraging this way of living even though he does not say this explicitly. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
