Schopenhauer: How do we rediscover ourselves, how can people know ourselves

 Human malignancy (or human nature)

In this world, despicableness and viciousness generally occupies a dominant position, and the silly voices are so loud that their words are more weighty.

In the bones, people are ugly and savage animals. The people we see are just tied up with ropes and tamed. This situation is called civilization and education.

We are shocked when we see people occasionally explode their nature. Once the shackles of law and order are lifted, once anarchy appears, people will appear as they are.

In terms of cruelty and ruthlessness, humans are no less than tigers and grizzly dogs.

Everyone has a huge ego inside, which can easily break free from the shackles of the law. We can see this situation at any time through the small things in daily life, and the performance in major events is told by every page of the history book.

character

Our own composition will never change.

A person will be negligent in the details and show his character.

From a person's handling of small matters, or pure manners, one can see the infinite expansion and expansion of this person, without regard to others' self.

A person will forget everything, absolutely everything, but he will not forget his ego,

potential

We don't know our potential to endure pain and do practical things--unless we have the opportunity to use and develop these abilities.

Looking at the mirror-like still water in the pond, we do not think that it can roar and roll down from the rocks; or how high it can rise as a fountain; nor do we think of frozen water. Contained heat.

moral

All true moral qualities, good or bad, are inherently born.

A good character can overwhelm and erase serious intellectual deficiencies. After understanding that a person has a certain excellent quality, we will patiently accommodate the person's intellectual deficiencies, and the dullness and childishness that the person shows when he gets older.

An obviously noble character, even if it completely lacks intellectual merits and intellectual cultivation, it still appears to be lacking. In contrast, even the most great minds, once they are stained with serious moral defects, always seem to be blamed.

life

For many people, especially when they are depressed and depressed, from an aesthetic point of view, the world is like a showroom full of caricatures; from an intellectual point of view, it is no different from a lunatic asylum; From a moral point of view, living alive is the den of thieves and den of thieves.

No matter how life appears, the same elements still make up life. Therefore, whether this life is spent in the hut, in the palace, or in the barracks or monastery.

In the final analysis, life is the same life.

Life's chances, adventures, happiness or misfortunes in life are different, but life is still like a candy: despite the various shapes and colors of the candy, they are all made of the same candy pulp.

The experience of one person and the experience of another are far more similar to each other than we think based on the description of others.

Survival should indeed be regarded as some kind of getting lost, and returning from this lost way is salvation.

Be alone

A spiritually rich person will first seek a state of no pain and no worries, and pursue tranquility and leisure. Therefore, once he understands the so-called person, he will choose to live in seclusion.

If a person has deep and lofty thinking, he will even choose to be alone. Because the richer a person has, the less he needs for things outside the body, and the less important others are to him.

When a person possesses excellent spiritual thoughts, he will not like to associate with others.

A person can become himself completely only when he is alone. If anyone does not love to be alone, then he also does not love freedom, because only when a person is alone, he is free.

peaceful

Complete and true inner peace and feeling of tranquility are the supreme boon second only to health in this world.

lonely

The higher a person's position in the level of nature, the more lonely he is, which is fundamental and inevitable.

The first lesson for young people is to learn to endure loneliness, because loneliness is the source of happiness and well-being.

happy

The essence of all happiness is negative, but the essence of pain is affirmative.

The so-called "happy life" should actually be understood as "reducing a lot of unfortunate life", that is, being able to endure life barely.
