Ill have to read his manifesto someday to see what he thought in more detail.
As intelligent as he was he clearly didnt see the good that can come from suffering and pain.
"I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees
in the garden of the world .. And so,
indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only
mistake was that I confined myself so
exclusively to the trees of what seemed to
me the sun-lit side of the garden, and
shunned the other side for its shadow and
its gloom." -Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
