Alan Watts, a renowned philosopher and speaker, often explored the nuances of human consciousness and emotions. He suggested that heightened sensitivity to pleasure inevitably leads to increased sensitivity to pain, emphasizing the interconnectedness of our emotional experiences.
“There is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.”―[https://www.mindomo.com/mindmap/6fa3fb506dde394abf471145e0c8ad39 Alan Watts]
"A Taoist saying is that when the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way."
