It is hedonistic when ascetic gurus and
aesthetic artists (eg. Buddha and Schopenhauer) try to cease
"willing" due to the see/saw consequences of pleasure and
suffering. Their goal is to end suffering by ending both the
pleasure and suffering of life, which in effect kills the natural
drives of life.
It is healthier to fulfill the drives,
goals, and desires of life, which requires success in survival and
reproduction. Refusing to play at all is at least neurotic.
Godhood is not rejected but is attained
through successful and rational material evolution, and not through
the rejection of life or settling into a stoic but hedonistic religious or artistic bliss.
