Arthur Schopenhauer wrote Studies in Pessimism in 1851. He seems to say: The Joy of it: When you lose your individuality you gain everything. It sounds like some of the titles of Soren Kierkegaard's 1848 book Christian Discourses. The Joy of It: That What You Lose Temporally You Gain Eternally. The Joy of It: That When I “Gain Everything” I Lose Nothing at All. I'm not saying Schopenhauer read Kierkegaard, everyone knows that Germans can't read Danish, but I find it interesting. 
This little essay is called On Immortality.
