Not sure where it is from, misquoting and probably butchering the quote:
“If you think a headache is bad, break your arm then the headache doesn’t feel so bad anymore”
Basically if something is bad, but something worse comes along, then the bad thing doesn’t seem so bad anymore
Update:
Because this has got me thinking, going to update when I quote source ( also don’t want to double post)
Heard in Mass Effect 2, Thane quoting:
“When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.” Thomas Hobbes
So it probably seems preachy posting it, but hey who knows could be a nice reminder that what you think is cool now will be probably ridiculed by future generations.
What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...
As we come together in this great new journey together, thought I post this (lemmy.world)
