Pain’s philosophy explanation | Naruto Shippuden

“Those Who Do Not Understand True Pain Can Never Understand True Peace.” This is one of Pain’s quotes! Pain’s philosophy is deep but unfortunately so many people don’t seem to understand it so I decided to explain it in this blog! (Explanation of Pain’s philosophy).

Naruto:

Naruto is definitely one of the greatest anime of all time. It has two seasons, the first season under the name of Naruto started airing on October 3, 2002 and ended on November 5, 2003 and the second season is named Naruto shippuden aired from February 15, 2007 to March 23, 2017. It's the fourth best-selling manga in history and what really catches my attention in Naruto is the depth of its characters and their way of thinking (Philosophies). And one of the deepest Naruto characters is Pain and his philosophy.

Who is pain:

Pain is a shinobi Naruto character from the Uzumaki clan formed the Akatsuki with his friends Yahiko and Konan he was trained by Jiraya he was characterized by his famous quote “Those Who Do Not Understand True Pain Can Never Understand True Peace.” which holds a deep philosophy between its words so let’s get started explaining what does Pain’s philosophy mean!

What does the philosophy of Pain mean?

First thing you should know is this “If there is no opposite of what exists, what exists would not exist”.

People won’t realize what happiness is, they won’t even consider it if pain didn’t exist. This contrast between pain and happiness is responsible for making happiness a thing and pain too. Imagine living in a world where pain doesn't exist, you were born happy in that world and you always feel happy and you never felt pain in that world. People won’t recognize happiness because it’s just their norm; they don't see how life would be if they feel something other than happiness (pain for example).

And the same thing goes with Pain’s philosophy as well it says people won't recognize what peace is if they don’t experience war and pain, this contrast between peace and war(pain) will make them truly understand what peace is and will realize how valuable the peace they were living in and they will themselves put effort to restore that valuable peace that they used to not understand it.

I will give one more example to make Pain’s philosophy clearer. If there was a world with only white color, everything is white in this world there is no other color then white won’ t be named white it would just be nothing because there is no other color that make a difference with white and make it unique and noticeable, so in a world where everything is white people won’t know white and in a world where there is only happiness people won’t know happiness and finally in a world where there is only peace people won’t know what peace truly is!

Conclusion:

And that’s what Pain’s philosophy is all about. The contrast between two things that make them unique and noticeable and things! If there is no opposite of what exists, what exists would not exist. I hope that my explanation of Pain’s philosophy was clear and easy to understand.
The philosophy of Pain is really good and clear and relatable.
