Epicurus believed that what he called "pleasure" is the greatest good, but the way to attain such pleasure is to live modestly and to gain knowledge of the workings of the world and the limits of one's desires. This led one to attain a state of tranquility and freedom from fear, as well as absence of bodily pain. The combination of these two states is supposed to constitute happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism, insofar as it declares pleasure to be the sole intrinsic good, its conception of absence of pain as the greatest pleasure and its advocacy of a simple life makes it different from "hedonism" as it is commonly understood. Epicurus explained that god and human are not related. In fact, Epicurus refuse the god he just saw that if gods are real they would care about only themselve don’t have necessity that they would care about in human. Man should turn to focus on their own is better, So should seek the happiness in life as much as you can, but have to control take care of yourself. Epicurus said “ The happiness is the destination of human. The prasert life is a simple life and peaceful not ambition desire in society honor. ” The basic idea of Epicureanism is anything good will bring happiness and nothing bad will bring pain. So we thinks we not necessary to do yourself like everyone else and don't follow the popularity. The main reason that people are less happy in several ways. Every day, there's plenty to worry about, such as working , socialable , way of life ,and spending. All are cause make we unhappy, so we should to know to let's it go. In addition to its use as necessary ,such as sufficient food , water, and shelter. We do not want anything to reward another life. Epicurus said, " It's good that you are lying on the grass straw without fear better than to have a golden chair or desk expensive. And a problem as it filled. " So it's something we think about the world and people around us, that's what matters most not a thing we possess.

We choose the Epicureans because Epicurus who is established this ideas have a reasons to seek a happiness that appropriate at the present. Firstly, Epicurus have an intelligently conception to find a real happiness and looking to sustainable happiness, not enjoyed only a short time. But find a happiness that make mind free from disturbance, body free from pain and does not entail suffering on later. For example,
“When we say, then, that pleasure is the end and the aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do through ignorance, prejudice, or willful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and trouble in the soul. It is not an unbroken succession of drinking bouts and of revelry, not sexual lust, not the enjoyment of fish and other delicacies of a luxurious table, that produces a pleasant life. It is rather sober reasoning, searching out the grounds of choice and avoidance, and banishing those beliefs that lead to the tumult of the soul.”
Secondly, Epicurus have an unrestriction ideas that not hold their own ideas and not to force others to believe his ideas. When it’s difficult to change a society, he thinks he can started by himself ;for example, Epicurus separates himself from Athens city where is full of derangement that have to follow the expectations of others in his house. And open to outsiders who are seeking peace as well into the home. For example,
“Nothing satisfies a person who is not satisfied with a little. To want more, to envy others, involves one in competition, and endless disturbance of mind, to no purpose; whereas nature’’ wealth is easy to procure, and is enough to make the whole of life complete and perfect with peace of mind.”

Last but not least, Epicurus have a belief that the cause of death and explained the death not things that we have to fear because when death comes, We did not live to feel the death. For example,
“ Death does not concern us because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does comes, we no longer exist !! ”

“Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not because it adds to and infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality.”
