But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

Interesting passasge, I remember it being a certain way the human brain perceives and understands
words or images, or some sort of thought process.
Maybe like the saying is the glass half empty or half full sort of thing?

I'm sure you realize it's just a place holder in printing. It gives you a better idea of the final layout of whatever it is you're doing, in this case a website, at the same time letting the reader understand that the content is irrelevant.

Yes, that's what i thought at first.:D
I am guessing the self improvement part was an inside joke

Not so private. Knowing Davie he probably got curious about it and googled it to see what the hell it means. Hence self improvement.
