Hedonist - "a person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life; a pleasure-seeker."
For the hedonist, pleasure is something to pursue. By having this focus, it gives you more experience of creating pleasure.
"a hedonist would not bother playing games or telling stories with senile parents"
Do you know any hedonists? I know some. They look to make situations more fun (for themselves, but this tends to involve taking others along for the ride). Perhaps you don't believe it's possible to have fun with old senile people, I'd say it's more than possible and I'm not even a hedonist (i.e. someone who looks for fun in a high proportion of their time, someone who is good at doing so).
