. . . . Pleasure, it was claimed, could certainly be positive, and some pains were a necessary backdrop to the pleasure of life, not to mention that certain privations might be thought pleasurable. Still, one could acknowledge this without holding, as Nietzsche suggests, that every reduced pain reduces pleasure on the capacity for pleasure. Schopenhauer had also said, of course, that our greatest pleasure are not as pleasurable as our greatest pains are painful -- a claim which can stand independently of whether or not pleasure is negative. If so, one could argue that the absence of all pleasure or pain without be superior, despite the loss of potential for great pleasures, and hence that compassion (as Nietzsche describes it) is worthwhile after all. ` Page 483
