“Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Simplified Meaning:
Life is often like a constantly moving swing. Sometimes we feel hurt and sad, while other times we feel bored and restless. These two feelings keep coming back in different parts of our lives. For example, think about when you study for an exam. You might feel bored because you have to read a lot, but then you feel stressed or upset when you can’t understand something. Or imagine working in a job you don’t like. It can be boring doing the same thing every day, but it can also be painful because it’s not what you really want to do. To handle this, it helps to find activities that make you happy or challenge your mind. By doing this, you can create more balance and find joy even when life seems to move between these two states.
