Wisdom of Life

Rather than looking at human nature from a pessimistic perspective, it is better to say that the author views human nature from a very intuitive and objective perspective. Jealousy and the ability to take pleasure in misfortunes are very obvious inner character traits of people (they cannot be called shortcomings, they can only be said to be very obvious character traits, because they are present in people from the moment they are born); and compassion and kindness are also rare advantages of human beings. And everyone has egoism. If you want to change your problems and shortcomings, you must read more, reflect more, change your thoughts, and become a person of noble virtue.

I just wish I hadn't read this book earlier. If I had read it when I was a student, maybe I wouldn't be the same person I am now.

This book offers a philosophy of life, which should be understood in any situation. Human beings are the most false creatures. We wear false masks to live in the world, and the same is true for society.

In this book "The Wisdom of Life", Schopenhauer made three basic divisions of joy and happiness in life: people themselves, things outside themselves, and people's status. He believes that the main thing that plays a key role in the joy and happiness of life is the human being. What the world we live in mainly depends on the way we look at it. Therefore, different people will see different worlds: some people think it is barren, boring and superficial, while others think it is rich, interesting and full of meaning. So here I also pessimistically and actively advocate that if people want to obtain happiness and happiness that are different from ordinary people, they should focus on cultivating personal quality, character, intelligence, temperament, hobbies, spiritual thoughts and good health. As the book says, the highest, most colorful and most lasting pleasure is the spirit. The pleasure of thought, a healthy and good body and the tranquility and joyful temper brought by it, as well as an active, clear, profound and accurate understanding of things, as well as a gentle, temperate will and the resulting clear conscience, all these benefits cannot be replaced by wealth and status.

We are born to atone for our sins, and all the pain we experience is a process of atonement. You must make yourself a happy person and don't care about other people's opinions. Not influenced by others. There are still many wonderful things in life waiting for me to develop.

There are many philosophies expressed in this book, some of which directly touch the soul, some of which are sparkling, and some of which are indifferent. This may be the feeling of every reader reading it. However, the description of "happiness" in the book is deeply rooted in my heart: I will definitely spend my life happily.

The pursuit of a happy life is not happiness, but the absence of pain. Schopenhauer believed: Life is a mass of desires. If desires are not satisfied, there will be pain. If desires are satisfied, there will be boredom. Pain and boredom are the two mortal enemies of human happiness. Schopenhauer pursues inner philosophy. From the beginning of the article, he has always emphasized that human beings themselves are the most important, including health, moral quality, and temperament. These constitute human personality. All our external aspects should be developed around the personality that suits us. Starting from the heart, when facing the people and things we encounter, we should not overestimate our expectations beyond the laws of things. No one is perfect, and everything is natural. If you understand enough about human nature and the laws of things, and develop according to your own characteristics, life will naturally become wonderful.

He has a very thorough view of human nature. I like what he said very much. People must survive on their own in the end. They must know how to appreciate themselves and not care too much about other people's evaluations and opinions. He also tells us that no one is perfect in this world. Everyone has a dark side of human nature. We can use laws and morals to restrain ourselves. , Instead of restraining others, I feel that my knowledge is shallow. I feel that I can read this book over and over again. There are many principles that can be learned and reflected on. There may be many obscure places when reading it for the first time, but a good book requires patience. Be more patient and think more. I feel that I can learn a lot.

Chinese is very difficult to read, and the sentences are extremely long. Perhaps the original clauses are within clauses, and the translator followed the language structure of the original text during the creation process. It is also due to my shallow knowledge of philosophy. During the reading process, I often cannot finish a sentence in one breath, and I cannot fully understand it after reading it. I need to read it repeatedly to find the logical relationship between word clusters in the sentence.

Excellent works are always difficult to discover.

I have dabbled in several books by Schopenhauer and have finished reading two. Schopenhauer's books give you a sense of relaxation. He will tell you some handed down facts in easy-to-understand words, allowing you to understand what happiness is and what should be the first choice to make you feel happy. This book is that people can feel happy best within themselves, don't ask for it from outside. Good health is the most important, I agree. Because we don't have that kind of realm. The more we suffer, the better we can understand something. If it's too bitter, we will only give up on ourselves. Maybe I am the fool in Schopenhauer's book.

This book is mainly about philosophy, because after reading the books written by Schopenhauer, most of them are about philosophy. My sentiment after reading this is that when people live in the world, they must first enrich their hearts. If your hearts are enriched, you can enjoy being alone and not care about other people's evaluations. The second thing is not to be jealous of others. Everyone's life is different, and everyone's destiny is also different. Try to live your life well, strive for what you want, and be an honest and caring person.

There are sentences that are profound, difficult to imagine, and difficult to understand, and there are also many practical examples for you to understand. It covers every corner of life and is worth reading. However, some contents do not require a thorough understanding.

Recommended. After reading it, I found the answer to my life questions.

Just as our bodies will explode without atmospheric pressure, similarly, without deprivation, hardship, frustration and boredom in life, people's boldness and arrogance will rise; even if it does not reach the level of explosion, it will drive people to do lawless and stupid things, and even roar and go crazy. Everyone does need to be equipped with a certain share of care, or worry, or hardship at all times, just as a ship needs a certain amount of ballast to steer a straight and stable course. Lack, care, and worry are certainly the fate of almost everyone throughout their lives.

The translation is not very good, or it is too profound, and some parts are incomprehensible, but it is indeed an excellent philosophical work.

The part you read in this book, a sketch of your life and career, contains some thoughts that are currently incomprehensible to people, including the background of the era to which they belong, human nature, wisdom, psychology, slowness, and fault tolerance... What I like most is analyzing external factors and comparing myself with myself. When I gain insight into my own heart, I can understand my own shortcomings and needs little by little. In addition, anger, envy, envy, and hatred are also normal for human beings. The book expresses his own views and explains them so that you can make sense. I think it can be applied to daily work and added to the foundation of being a human being.

I think this book is indeed of great philosophical depth. Schopenhauer mostly writes from a sad perspective, allowing us to look at the world from a bad side. This is good, but it is also bad. I think we can only take the essence and discard the dross. Smart people will not blindly learn this kind of pessimism

I got a lot of support in the book, but the author is a bit too mean, and the negative emotions contained in the text will give readers some bad experiences, but I still give it five stars. After all, it is really good.

The structure of this book is relatively clear and reasonable, the explanations are very thorough, and there is no boring feeling at all. The thoughts are very logical, and the description language is beautiful and persuasive. It is loved by many people and people. The book has strong philosophical dialectical thinking and is based on objective comparisons of the same things between different types of people. The author quotes Socrates as saying that the so-called pursuit of happiness is impossible, and all we can do is to avoid pain. The conclusion drawn is that happiness itself is negative, while pain is positive. The theory of the two ends of life is also very enlightening and can be used by readers to guide and improve their lives.

This book is actually worth reading. You can learn some ways to find yourself when you are confused. Happiness actually comes from yourself, your nature. Our perception of happiness comes from the perspective from which we see things. I think this book is quite short and you can read more. In fact, I couldn't understand it when I first watched it, but it really brought me out of my confusion.

A very important core of the whole article is other people's evaluations, thoughts, denials, and insults. Whether one can transcend or minimize these concerns and reactions to a certain extent determines a person's happiness.

Many of the views are in line with my own views. Because of my family relationship, I have also seen through a lot of human nature. I have always wanted to be a strong person, and even a strong person who can dominate others. Therefore, I have spent the past ten years in school pursuing fame and fortune. When I was young, I thought fame and fortune was the existence that proves my worth. However, my own self-discipline, understanding or talent are not in this, and the effort and results are not proportional. In addition, at the beginning of college, I did not follow my inner choice to study a major that I liked. As a result, I did not seem to be devoted to real learning during college, and I often felt confused. Currently facing the choice of job, I am also struggling. Should I really follow the trend and continue, or should I go back to graduate school to pursue the things I like? (At present, I am still not strong enough and do not have enough money to support my choice. I still have to rely on my family. Faced with family financial pressure, working is currently the best choice for me). This book told me that the value of a person lies in his or her own opinion. If you think you have value, you will be valuable. If you think you don't, you will be worthless. Although I haven't really learned what I love yet, I think that no matter what, you should devote yourself to what you like, whether now or in the future.

I have benefited greatly from reading this book in its entirety, but there are some parts that I cannot understand, which may be related to the gap between Chinese and Western cultures.

It's okay, it contains a lot of realistic things, and I'm still a relatively optimistic person. Naturally, there are some things in it that I don't understand very well, because I can't sympathize with the pessimistic view. Anyway, it's worth reading.

I learned a lot after reading this book, thank you. I remember that Freud's concept of libido was also derived from the will to life. Good things and good ideas are not so easy to be accepted by others. Rather, it is due to human nature. I actually agree with a sentence in the book: It is impossible to make fools wake up, because most people dare not face themselves! Face the darkness! This sentence also applies to myself. But I know that there is such a road that can lead to Rome. Things like the mind must appear in chaos. It is enough to understand this.

People's self, what they have, and what they show in the outside world, I feel that I have benefited a lot, I really want to understand something, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that my mind is empty. As the writer said, philosophy books are obscure and difficult to understand, so I will definitely read them again in the future.

The richer a person has within himself, the less he needs from the outside world, and the less important others are to him. After reading this book, it inspired me a lot, especially in today's flashy world. Keep your original intention, stick to your bottom line, be loyal to yourself, love yourself, and don't get entangled in bad things and bad people.

The book is a good book, it reveals a lot of truth, but I only understand a little bit.

Very good, insightful, worth reading
