No it doesn't moron, not for 90+% of the population at least.
Generally speaking life has its neutrals and downs. The "ups", when they happen, aren't as the statement implies, equal emotional experiences to the downs which often leave their permanent impact, compared to the ups that often come with this shallow and fleeting sensation even while they're happening.
In terms of pleasure, these are the "ups" that exist for most people:
Manic episodes
Drugs, drinking
Youth and inexperience, the feeling that everything under the sun is new
the honeymoon phases of relationships (and other scams like get-rich-quicks)
Stockholm syndrome experiences - you trick yourself because you HAVE to see it as something significant due to social conditioning and because you invested so much into it: weddings, vacations, school graduations, buying sports cars as subrich, etc
One of the purposes of this bluepilled lie is to offer comfort/encouragement for people in difficult circumstances. Which is valid but there's no need to throw in so much bullshit and insane copium. I have my goals in life of course, that I want to accomplish in spite of anything. What I cannot say is that these goals are rational or will grant me either pleasure or peace. These are all things you either have or you don't

). The "up" gives hints at some sort of growth or upturn that may never even happen. And, unlike the actual stock market, you are the one who knows your life's trajectory the most.
. He didn't last very long did he?
