The wise men who faced the sufferings of life Schopenhauer and Nietzsche

Schopenhauer's alternative three views:

1. A wise life is not about pursuing happiness, but about reducing suffering.

Rational life should not pursue happiness and joy, but should reduce suffering, no pain, nothing to worry about, that is, happiness, life, the root of pain lies in people's desires, and the pain that a person feels is directly proportional to his desire for life.

Man's attitude towards himself and towards others:

1.People should learn to know themselves, roughly understand what work and what occupation they should re-use, and look at distant goals while bowing their heads to work. Live in the present and forget the past.

I'm not sure if it's going to happen, I'm not sure when it's going to happen, so I think it never happens, and I can avoid mistakes in planning for the future.

2.How do you perceive others? The first is the ability to foresee, and the second is the ability to forgive, in the Chinese saying, that is, the heart of defense is indispensable, and the heart of harm is indispensable.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Live your own life and let others live, looking for common interests and friendly cooperation.

Second, life should not be chasing wealth, but wisdom.

Although material enjoyment is happiness that can be seen and touched, there must be a rational enjoyment, which is determined by the relative quantity of wealth. Man is an animal of desire, chasing wealth, status, fame. You can refer to the fisherman's story.

Schopenhauer simply and crudely divided people into poor and rich, as the poor should despise those who spend lavishly, the pain of lack of money will be more intense, so Schopenhauer suggested that the poor save.

If a rich person has both wealth and high spiritual endowment, it is a double gift from heaven to use his wealth to engage in charity for the benefit of mankind. If you don't have this kind of spiritual endowment, it will lead to the other extreme of life: boredom, boredom.

3. Enjoying solitude is the source of happiness.

Only by enjoying solitude and gaining inner peace. In terms of personality, talent, likes and dislikes, you can play unrestrained, you can fully become yourself, the first lesson of life is to learn to bear the loneliness, the more you have, the less you need to get from others. People should constantly empower themselves and give up inappropriate desires.

Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a famous German philosopher and the founder of Italism and modern pessimism. His family has a lot of property, but he has no ambition and lives a reclusive life. At the age of 65, his book "Appendices and Addenda" made him famous after many years of silence.

He once wrote in a poem: "At this moment I stand at the end of the road, and my old head cannot bear the laurel wreath. He died in Frankfurt in 1860.

The Wisdom of Life" is Schopenhauer's account of how to live life as satisfactorily and happily as possible.

The famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "After reading the first page of Schopenhauer's book, I know very well that I am going to finish all his things; I listened to every word he said. ”

The wisdom of life is based on how to make people feel happy, and it is explained from six aspects.

Chapter 1 The basic division of this chapter is similar to a general treatise, dividing what he believes determines man's destiny into three aspects: man himself (health, strength, appearance, temperament, moral character, spiritual intelligence, and potential development), what man has outside of his body, and what he appears to others.

The following chapters are inextricably elaborated according to the basic division.

Chapter 2 The human self is a detailed description of what the person has, such as health and strength. It mentions the importance of a happy mood in terms of health, and quotes other writers....

It's not things that disturb people, it's how people think about things".

Chapter 3 The Property Owned by Man, discusses wealth and analyzes its impact on people.

Chapter 4 The Appearance of Man.

Chapter 5 Recommendations and Aphorisms.

Chapter 6 The Stages of Life.

Reading books requires a certain amount of thinking, so that in the process of thinking and reading, new perspectives and attitudes will arise. Books on philosophy, in particular, will be slower because they are grinding in or tearing apart pre-existing knowledge.

Hopefully, I can finish this book within a month.
