"This reduction of all personal values \u200b\u200bto the instance essentially metaphysical knows only pleasure and pain, and indeed only pain, culminating in the statement itself that all love is compassion. As the substance of the beings life is pain, acts of love can not be anything but mitigating the pain of others. Thus, knowledge of others' pain, that under the identity of being felt as the same as ours, is the reason for all the sacrifices, the reason for which love is nothing but a peculiar name. You see here clearly how they have been forced logical and psychological facts, by the tendency to reduce individual pain unit. For if love were nothing but compassion how the compassion that differ from the love that do not qualify? May acquire a deeper sense the principle of Schopenhauer if they invested saying all compassion is love, if so, would explain the mystery of love in a sense not unlike the Christian, even in relation to the enemy, with indifrentes, with the despised, thus showing a possible element of unity in all human relationships, since none of them compassion is excluded, only that Schopenhauer had to reject this, because this would create an irreducible value to their explanation of the world. And, therefore, is still standing question of how to separate the love of compassion is compassion that is not love. Therefore, next to love it as specifically distinct compassion APRACA love as love, and nothing more, as a final element of the world and value. And not wanting to admit that Schopenhauer, for the reasons already stated, professes a mistake I think I see in all current representations of love. When love is unrequited, and seems to come to perfection so that according to their essence and meaning is intended, the usual language he calls "happy" with it that love is expressed as its internal policy, is destined to end in a feeling of happiness only when happiness has become the idea, while when the mismatch truncated development, when it can not display all its capacities, is considered as " unfortunate. " But I think this is destroyed the very meaning of love, even as internal phenomenon, in favor of a secondary manifestation. In the series of events inside the love life is presented as a valuable thing in itself as a great event, and whoever gets it in its full perfection does not depend in any way to be happy or miserable, but the constitution itself the subject, which gives you the supreme measure, sometimes in one of these cases, sometimes in another. The double meaning of happiness puts the love in a completely wrong dependence on eudemonistic its reflection, and love appears in its own significance and development as a rudiment, as something that does not reach its full significance without being happy. That love has value for the soul and helps you get the soul is determined by the echo and reflections found on it, and it is accompanied by feelings eudemonists is certainly different, but above all this , its value remains as unique and independent, as a function of life that gives it a new and unique significance and can join in all possible combinations of happiness and misery without losing the sustantibilidad such combinations of its significance.
