REACTIVE PLEASURE

in the organism below2.0 (on the tone scale) tending toward death, a reactive pleasure is taken in the performance of acts which lead to succumbing on any of the dynamics. In other words, above2.0 pleasure is survival, and below2.0 pleasure is obtained only by succumbing or by bringing death to other entities, or by causing self or other entities to be suppressed on the tone scale. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 84)
