"The amount of suffering and joy in the Universe is perfectly balanced"

 "The amount of suffering and joy in the Universe is perfectly balanced"

The amount of suffering and joy in the Universe is perfectly balanced, 

I read this in an old book, many years ago.  I posted it online, then went to see who said it, because I could not recall.  No AI or search engine can find it.

OMG 

As best as I can recall, it is follow by "To understand this, imagine one animal eating another"

Which of course is also not found on the internet.
