I was at Writer's Workshop class when I saw this quote "Man's little pleasure is the Spring of Sorrow" for the first time. I rarely look for quote or even read it because sometimes, it's so ambiguous and confusing, but well I still need to read and interpret it no matter how. This quote has "spring" as the key word. The "Spring" can be a leap or jump, the season between winter and summer, or the first stage or the freshest period.
Man's pleasure is far beyond adequate. Man would never be satisfy until he gets what he wants. He will look for it over and over again, but by the time he got it, he will forget what he had got and look for more and even more greater obsession. Man would never stop to get this "pleasure." The Spring marks the beginning of man's gluttony. Since every moment, man looks for more and more pleasure, they destroy everything that was meant to be in order. Global warming and extinguishment of rare animals are two over millions example of man's greed. Money is the first factor why now our world is in devastated situation, such as extreme poverty, starvation, illness, and many others. This is the consequences of man's greed, which is derived from man's pursuit of pleasure. "Man's little pleasure is the spring of sorrow," because man himself is the one who start the mourning of the world, that impact to the human themselves.
I think this is my interpretation over the quote above. This quote is meaningful and would help the prevention on global warming and other global issues. Perhaps this quote needs to be shown for those who are hungry for pleasure, to know that the world is not "THEIRS," but it's "OURS" too.
