Yea reminds me of those words from the matrix where he explained that the first society was utopia, there was no sadness and people got even more restless...I guess we need balance in life

Yes, the comparison is what really brings out the flavours. However, instead calling one the backwards of the other, I would call one inside-out of the other. Suffering turns one inside out.
