May 31 (Fri) Good quote: Life depends entirely on willpower.
2024.05.31 10:32
All of life is suffering.
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
