May 31 (Fri) Good quote: Life depends entirely on willpower.

All of life is suffering.

May 31 (Fri) Good quote: Life depends entirely on willpower.

All living beings in this world have a strong will to survive, but because this will is not fully satisfied, living becomes a suffering.

 

Schopenhauer said that the reason life is a continuous cycle of suffering is due to the human nature's desire to survive.

 

He viewed human nature as "blind desire for life," and said that humans cannot avoid suffering because their blind desire to live forever remains unfulfilled.

 

The strength to endure difficult times with pain also comes from attachment to life and blind desire. I believe that when these desires are well controlled, it is possible to live a happy life with agency.

 

Schopenhauer to read at forty

    모든인생은 고통이지만 어떻게 생각하고 행동하는지에따라 삶이 달라질수있다는 생각이 드네요
