…the kind of person who
enjoys, in retrospect, things he
does not enjoy while doing them

…who, in the present, enjoys doing things
he knows he will, in retrospect, regret

rather, who, in the present
enjoys doing things that,
in retrospect, he knows
he will enjoy, as well

who does things in the present
because he knows
he will enjoy them in retrospect

who cannot help but do a thing
in the present though he knows
he will regret it later.
