It is the things which make us feel good, and the overdoing of them, that generally lead to trouble for ourselves. Loving to eat, and doing so with abandon, leads to obesity. Loving to do drugs, and again doing them beyond reason, leads to addiction. These lead to a lessening in the quality of life one may wish to lead. Generally, moderation in most things is not harmful. The abuse or overdoing of things we like is where trouble sets in and it turns into a curse.

Your kidding me right?
This question suggests that if a person likes to see others suffer that they should have the right to pursue this...
If a person enjoys spray painting walls as art does the owner of the property have the right to cover it up and pursue damages done by the artist... According to this question no because the artist would then feel bad.
NO ONE is "special" You can have special talents, special thoughts and ideas but the basic rules of life still apply to you no matter how "good" you may feel.
The best thing you can do is try to figure out how to make others feel good... in the end you will find success in doing this rather than indulging in your own selfish pursuits that may or may not be healthy or worse illegal.

Only if it doesn't hurt someone else (or yourself). Some things may feel good but cause more harm than good. It's not all about pleasure. You have a right to happiness, so long as your pursuit of it does not infringe on the rights of others to their own happiness. For instance, you may think it felt good to steal someone's Ferrari, that doesn't mean you have a right to do it. It's not yours to take & you're depriving someone else of it. But if you can afford to buy one yourself, then go for it!

No. Some people steal because it makes them feel good, but they don't have a right to.

No you don't, as that thing that you want to do may be illegal and could injure other people in certain cases. Like smoking and drug consumption.

Only if you are not harming another living thing while doing it, or yourself. Then you're in the clear!

Sure, as long as it's not against the law.

just as long it does not hurt others, then it's okay to do.
