Rivelino3 OP December 24th, 2019

A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Rivelino3 OP December 24th, 2019

If God made this world, then i would not want to be the God. It is full of misery and distress that it breaks my heart.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Rivelino3 OP December 24th, 2019

And to this world, to this scene of tormented and agonised beings, who only continue to exist by devouring each other, in which, therefore, every ravenous beast is the living grave of thousands of others, and its self-maintenance is a chain of painful deaths; and in which the capacity for feeling pain increases with knowledge, and therefore reaches its highest degree in man, a degree which is the higher the more intelligent the man is; to this world it has been sought to apply the system of optimism, and demonstrate to us that it is the best of all possible worlds. The absurdity is glaring.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Rivelino3 OP December 24th, 2019

When we see that almost everything men devote their lives to attain, sparing no effort and encountering a thousand toils and dangers in the process, has, in the end, no further object than to raise themselves in the estimation of others; when we see that not only offices, titles, decorations, but also wealth, nay, even knowledge[1] and art, are striven for only to obtain, as the ultimate goal of all effort, greater respect from one's fellowmen,—is not this a lamentable proof of the extent to which human folly can go?

Arthur Schopenhauer

Rivelino3 OP December 24th, 2019

I have found my yearning for something to be backed by an equally powerful fear of the realisation that i might just get those things.
