Answer 5

In the same way, Mill made qualitative distinctions in different pleasures. According to Bentham, all pleasures are similar. If the quantity of pleasure be the same, then there is no difference between poetry and pushpin. Contrary to this, according to Mill, 'It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied, better to be a Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. In this way Mill clearly states that sensous pleasure originating from animal tendencies is not everything. Mendal or intellectual pleasure is far superior.
