https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7pwItrhEZo https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_Sufferings_of_the_World Isn't it true that life is just pointless suffering? quote:This explains the fact that we generally find pleasure to be not nearly so pleasant as we expected, and pain very much more painful. Why aren't these red pills taught in school? quote:In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It is a blessing that we do not know what is really going to happen. Could we foresee it, there are times when children might seem like innocent prisoners, condemned, not to death, but to life, and as yet all unconscious of what their sentence means. Nevertheless, every man desires to reach old age; in other words, a state of life of which it may be said: "It is bad to-day, and it will be worse to-morrow; and so on till the worst of all."

Kind of a downer Nah, though I've heard about that book. I came across this stuff a few years ago when I saw some comment on a blog mention this book: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Never-Have-Been-Existence/dp/0199549265 It was kind of a hard read...

How is it morally justifiable to have children given the fact they will suffer and you can't guarantee their contentment?

You should probably read his essays rather than just the excerpts because he offers redemptive qualities to living (and suicide). Suffering as a backdrop of existence is just the premise, not his conclusion.

I dunno man, I kinda like to take the heaps of needless suffering as a lesson to become a stronger person and try to find joy in the small things in life which make me happy.  This guy sounds really depressed.

Schopenhauer is fuckin brutal reading. He basically died unloved and rebuffed by anyone he ever pursued, and in many ways was like the goon before goons.

Anguish and despair are not horrible accidents but built into the structure of life itself. Life is finite. Every choice you make closes off the other possibilities. You are trapped in a single brief moment, filled with an inescapable longing for the infinite lives that are not to be. Regret is the core of human freedom. Every choice you make will lead to it. Every choice you don't make will lead to it. And yet, we are forced to choose. Forced to nourish our despair through a freedom we can't escape.

Yup, for some reason my phone thinks the word WE'LL is all caps, so all caps it is. Autocorrect needs to die. Anyone know how to get rid of it on a Android Galaxy s8?

"The pleasure in this world, it has been said, outweighs the pain; or, at any rate, there is an even balance between the two. If the reader wishes to see shortly whether this statement is true, let him compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is engaged in eating the other."

It is true though, work = paying bills, taxes, food etc. Life = work = fulfillment, but at what cost to the human psyche? something something, death and taxes win.

Depression is a needless state of mind, a side effect from under eating most people could treat if they truly wanted to. If they knew which macro and micro nutrients they are missing. If they had the B12. The Bone Broth.
