Spot on! Schopenhauer would agree that confronting life’s darker truths can free us from illusions-paradoxically leading to a more profound sense of peace.
I have to agree totally with the whole viewpoint of this argument. Living confined by external forces is prison not freedom. This doesn't mean that we should ignore compassion.
Exactly! Schopenhauer would agree that absolute freedom means not letting external pressures confine us. And compassion isn’t a weakness-it’s an authentic response to suffering that deepens our humanity.
We cannot avoid the influence of external forces, since humans have to live in the world. That is not the problem. The problem is Schopenhauer's godless internal world, which admits to no purpose in life or meaning in achievements. Anyone who has such a cynical take on life is probably not living correctly. Maybe that was his essential failure. The meaning and transcendent purpose of life is easily known by most of us.
Great reminder! Schopenhauer’s focus on authenticity aligns with ‘to thine own self be true.’ Being honest with ourselves helps prevent the pitfalls that often ruin good people’s lives.

As long as one has reasonable and clear boundaries kindness and compassion are far more conducive to living a peaceful and happy life. I'm sick of phony "influencers" encouraging people to stop being "nice", stop being "kind", stop helping others, etc. At least 28% of all human beings are already nasty human beings, we don't need more.

I appreciate your thoughtful take! Indeed, social media can amplify the craving for external validation, which often leads to unhappiness. Schopenhauer would likely agree that when guided by healthy boundaries, genuine kindness can foster real peace and fulfillment rather than the empty pursuit of attention.
That’s a powerful statement. Schopenhauer would likely agree that our formative relationships can profoundly shape our view of the world-and sometimes in excruciating ways
One has to know themselves within, all of oneself!! The better,the goood, the middle, the gray, the dark, more colors as all the Color of the World an Universe is within us all!! Then one does for others what one believes is what one willing gives for nothing, no praise, nothing in return, silently one does!!! All those who dislike praise, or someone tooting their horn, they deflect an give it to others.. Its for NO ONE ELSE BECAUSE THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS PRETEND...
Beautifully said! Schopenhauer would agree that faithful giving comes from within, free of external praise or reward. Recognizing our many 'colors' reminds us how deeply we connect to the world and each other.
This guy had serious problems that he tried to off on everyone else. There is no external or divine purpose in life; it is simply what you decide to make of it. I decided decades ago to be happy and I am. My children and my ex all make more money than me and live in much more expensive homes. I love it because they have never asked me for a dime. I live in peace and comfort and do as I please and it is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing your story! Schopenhauer’s pessimism can be off-putting, but choosing happiness and contentment on your own terms shows there’s more than one way to navigate life’s challenges.
Thank you! Excellent Clarification of the Essential with External Validation -->Sacrifices One's Own Soul... Sacrifice: Trading a higher Value for a lower... One's Own Life... Mathew 6:3 Emphasizes that Christians should avoid being motivated by worldly praise or egotism...
Don't think so. Millions of people value their achievements, and attain meaningful status in their communities. Seeing purpose as "an illusion" is certainly not an experience shared by the majority of humankind. There are many who see their purpose, fulfill it, and live in peaceful contentment. This is not at all unusual among healthy, normal persons. Seems to me that Schopenhauer was perhaps a disturbed individual, who thought that the cosmos offered no real purpose or meaning at all. He was probably a godless man as well. Though I don't know this for sure, it would fit this philosophy.
I don't aknowledge everything in this summary - especially the parts about altruism and will. I think that one can very well be altruistic, and still not be "living for others" or neglecting yourself. It's possible to aspire for harmony among all; living for yourself, but still considering and acknowledging others' needs and desires. Frankly, I think most people in societies (must) do this automatically. There's no "pure" egoism or altruism - it's all in the balance. What comes to will in all this, is that a person who understands this, wants good things (optimally) for everyone. These concepts aren't mutually exclusive or conflicting, over a time period.
There shouldn't be rigidity in our life for us to attain happiness. Societal norm is good and "will" is okay. It's how you integrate these two dynamics with out going into extreme that makes life worth living.
Exactly! Schopenhauer would likely say that finding balance-rather than going to extremes-lets us live authentically without sacrificing harmony with society.
Thanks for commenting! Schopenhauer’s ‘true self’ isn’t a literal soul but more of a ‘Will’ that underlies all existence. It’s philosophical rather than strictly religious, so our everyday desires can seem out of sync with that deeper core.
Only spontaneous action not the intentional action can save us ,life is without purposes but unfortunately we make goals that are seeds of suffering and we strive to achieve them this is Ego.
Thanks for your viewpoint! Schopenhauer would likely agree that a bit of skepticism is healthy, but shutting everyone out entirely can lead to isolation. Balance is key.
That’s a great observation! Schopenhauer’s views on desire and suffering echo many of the Buddha’s teachings. It’s fascinating how different traditions often arrive at similar insights about human nature.
It is confusing here what authentic life really is. It is obvious that we should not follow the social norms. But should we follow our own "will"? It seems the latter is also the cause of our sufferings.
That’s the paradox Schopenhauer wrestles with. Blindly following social norms or our ‘Will’ can lead to suffering. Recognizing and moderating our inner drives helps us find a more authentic, balanced life
That quote nails the stark reality of our condition. Schopenhauer would agree: we can’t cure being here, but by honestly facing life’s harsh truths, we find freedom in acceptance.
These are the teaching of the great 'jnani' - enlighten being. Similar to Ramana Maharshi & Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Self-inquiry is the only freedom.
If One looks deeper, many times we would only do things we 'like' (emotional rationally like eating ice cream) but if One would 'force Oneself' of not obeying One's Emotions to assert the Will of the mind over Emotions, no doubt will make One feel a bit Shitty. But, after times of these types of Self challenges. Will One see the Victory of the mind over the Demons within Emotions. JamesWhiskey%
@@NexusInsight-13 "Not that Buddha is a pessimist -- as many people in the West particularly have condemned him, and in the East too. People think that Buddha is a pessimist, saying life is misery. He is not a pessimist -- not a pessimist in the same way as Arthur Schopenhauer is. Schopenhauer is a pessimist: "Life is misery and there is no way to get out of it. You have to suffer it, nothing can be done about it. Man is a helpless victim." It is said that when Schopenhauer read Gautam Buddha's works for the first time he danced because he thought, "This enlightened man agrees with me!" Now, no enlightened man can ever agree with those who are not enlightened; it is impossible. Either you agree with them or you don't agree with them, but they never agree with you. They cannot. How can the man who has eyes agree with the man who is blind about light? -- or about darkness even? Remember one thing: the blind man knows nothing about darkness even, what to say about light! Because to see darkness eyes are needed. You may be thinking that blind people live in darkness -- you are totally wrong. They know nothing of darkness. Because YOU close your eyes and you feel darkness, so you think blind people must be living in darkness -- but they don't have eyes to close. And unless you know light you cannot know darkness; they are two aspects of the same coin. Eyes are needed for both. Schopenhauer was utterly wrong -- Buddha was not agreeing with him. Of course, Buddha can be interpreted in such a way that he may look like a pessimist philosopher. He is neither a pessimist nor a philosopher. He is not even an optimist -- because pessimism and optimism both belong to the world of the blind."
We "cannot will what we will" is BS because happiness is the decision not to be unhappy, no matter what. Once one learns to dominate one's feelings an desires, pain turns from an unbearable horror to a mere annoyance that can be ignored and happiness is kind of nice from time to time but nothing worth chasing.
I think you misunderstand. People often cannot "will what they will" because subconscious and uncontrollable thoughts and desires pull them away from their goals. Their conscious will and their automated subconscious actions contradict one another. Learning to "dominate one's feelings and desires" is difficult. Just ask any recovering addict. But I DO agree that once you dominate your thoughts you gain resilience to things that others are frightened of. Please have a satisfying new year, awax43! And thanks for getting me to stop and think about my position on things!
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint! Schopenhauer’s idea of ‘can’t will what we will’ points to deeper unconscious drives. Your take, focusing on choosing happiness by mastering feelings, offers a refreshing, thought-provoking contrast!
Schopenhauer is so wrong on so many counts, you don't know where to begin. In this video: that only applies to the masses, people who live superficially.
If it applies to "the masses", that would be most people. So it seems like you're saying Schopenhauer nails it. People do generally chase desires, and do find the achieving of them only briefly satisfying, with the need to pursue more desires seemingly necessary in order to obliterate the boredom that soon ensues. He was in effect proposing EckhartTolle's idea of learning to live in the Here and Now-and as that is actually the only time there is, he actually couldn't have got it more right! And what other way would work as well as solitude for gaining an insight into one's true nature? Which is what needs to be what is acted on for true fulfilment to even be possible.
Thanks for sharing your take! Schopenhauer’s views are indeed polarizing, and he often focused on those living superficially. Whether that applies to everyone is up for debate, which is part of the fun (and challenge) of engaging with his philosophy.
It’s true Schopenhauer was known to have a difficult upbringing and struggled with unhappiness. Those challenges likely influenced his dark view of life and shaped his profound philosophical insights.
