People seem to implicitly define hedonism in terms of present experience. IMO, hedonism is no more present-oriented than nostalgia. Its defining trait is avoidance of ugly truths about future, just as defining trait of nostalgia is avoidance of unpalatable truths about the past.

Some weird analysis has led me to the conclusion that the natural opposite of hedonism is nostalgia. Wonder if anyone else has reached this conclusion via other arguments.
