Nietzsche — You Can't Have Pleasure Without Pain

In this video, I talk about Friedrich Nietzsche, The Joyful Science, and the relationship between pain, pleasure, desire, and happiness.

In The Joyful Science, in the section titled My Happiness, Nietzsche wrote, "Since I grew tired of the chase and search, I learned to find; And since the wind blows in my face, I sail with every wind."

You've spent your whole life acquiring things. But you still haven't acquired happiness. Maybe happiness is what happens when you stop playing the game of acquiring things.
