First off, no offence, but geez you're Latin needs some work.
Second off, I'm inclined to disagree with the premise of this question, because it implies a false dichotomy. Yes, many people purposefully choose toil and pain in exchange for deferred pleasure or some greater award, but I would argue that there are still plenty of people out there that choose pain for pain's sake. For some people, pain could be an immediate source of pleasure. For others, they might be so disgusted by any notion of pleasure that they avoid it at all costs, opting to live a life of deliberate misery instead.
Of course, you would be right to be confused by the existence of such person. Nevertheless, even if their psyches are mysteries to us, we cannot honestly claim that they don't exist. I mean, we all know that thousands (if not millions!) of such persons log in every day and post on twitter dot com.
(Sorry if this answer came off as rude. I really enjoyed the question.
