>“Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.”
The animal being eaten suffers a bit and then never suffers again, but the animal doing the eating survives because it ate the other animal and can continue to feel pleasure/suffering.
but isnt being deprived of future pleasure forever the greatest suffering?

Tell that to the scared little kids who cry and beg for hours to get out of a little shot they forget about in seconds.

It's what's known as an "example"
>>876199
but it's an example that's completely self contained so it's pretty much irrelevant when you're trying to say that THE WHOLE WORLD sucks
>>876199
It was vague hyperbole, you can't measure let alone compare an animal's feelings and some animals live in the digestive tracks of others and are literally designed to constantly be eaten in a happy life cycle and have no nervous system to feel with with some animals get terrible indigestion and go through horrible pain just to eat.
