I mean, you give a dog morphine for the rest of its life and what will it have accomplished? It seems the journey to Heaven is far more rewarding in itself. Euphoria leaves a person thoughtless, numb, and pretty much lifeless. Total bliss seems very empty. When you experience pain, you’re suddenly conscious of what other people go through. Has more human spirit.
To quote Hermann Hesse: “What I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity.”
