How would one determine what equal means in this context? How do you equate pleasure and suffering?

Still aside from that if we could equate both and compare them to find they are equal, it’s just a matter of preference whether that is satisfying and it doesn’t change the equality

Hm, thinking again this really seems to be a question of what is equal, experience and emotion are subjective values so if we’re asking does the pain and the pleasure even out then that is up to whether or not it’s worth it to you individually But if equal means that the pain and pleasure have some overall objective value than it’s not influenced by whether or not it leaves you satisfied

I think this is really just a question of semantics
