Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.

Summary

This quote suggests that pain always has a cause or a reason behind it, while pleasure is unaffected by external factors and is not influenced by any particular reason.

It reflects the idea that pain is often a response to something negative or distressing, whereas pleasure can be a spontaneous, enjoyable experience without needing any justification.
