“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.”
The idea behind the quotation
Happiness and suffering are understood in relation to each other; experiencing deep sorrow can help us value joyful moments and life itself.
