To elaborate more on the evolutionary psych segment of my post:
All of us want to feel good. That's why we're taking antidepressants. That's why we try to make money, work hard etc. So we can buy stuff. And be successful. And live longer, or make it easier to live longer. With the goal (whether you know/like it or not) of producing offspring.
Back to the issue at hand- experiencing undeserved pleasure. This crusade against euphoria is happening because it is rooted within most people's minds. If you experience happiness when you shouldn't really be happy, then couldn't you be pointed in the wrong direction? Couldn't you be less inclined to reproduce? Yes. Is there anything wrong with that? No. That's what I want everyone to realize.
