I think if I ever got asked to write up a religion, there'd need to be a positive commandment ordering you to enjoy yourself in moderation on a daily basis. Something that says "if you're making yourself miserable all day every day, you are sinning." Not sure how to word it in a way that discourages hedonism and also doesn't make people trapped in lousy situations feel even worse, but that'd be the goal.

keep your mind on your self and it's surroundings, and let your self be one with both pleasure and struggle.

let not the words of others compel you to eat too many frogs [1]
