Morning @Lu_Corde I enjoyed reading your discussion very much and I especially appreciate your ideas on the title On the Pleasures of Sadness.
From the English point of view, you’ve done a great job expressing these complex thoughts and there are hardly any mistakes. đź‘Ź There is just one thing we can change to make it sound more like a native speaker:
> How it can maybe be guessed from my previous statements, I agree with …
> As one can probably tell/guess/imagine/from my previous statements, I agree with …
(Here I’ve used ‘one’ because the writing style is fairly formal. In general conversation or in a less formal writing piece, you can say: as you can probably tell/ guess / imagine ….)
ps. tiny mistake!: they have not the empathy for human condition ❌
