@principlesnotmood: One of my favorite quotes from Schopenhauer. Everything good/bad/indifferent carries with it some perceptible suffering, but to say the same for pleasure or delight is false. Existence seems to be “lopsided” towards the painful, uneasy, restless, and treacherous. This is not something to whine about like some pathetic poet, but rather something to understand thoroughly. #arthurschopenhauer #philosophy #quote #reading #solitude
Not if you consider life as a whole in this metaphor. The pleasures(the rose) cannot exist independently from suffering(the thorns)

There is an overwhelming amount of suffering for each tiny amount of pleasure. In most men's lives. Schopenhauer is part of those most men and speaking for us.

i think this one’s dumb because there are rose’s without thorns and there’s no thorn that exists independently from the flower
