Classical egoism occurs when the indivdual does and should pursue his own pleasure. As utilitarians we live ad act i such ways as benefit and creates the greatest good for the greatest number. Their pleasure is what we seek to extend and sustain.
I am more stoical and puritanical so I am for the individual not pursing pleasure (which often is pain) so much as doing his duty (which may seem dull and painful, but only it will make him happy, or give him actual pleasure).
