"The Troubles of Love and Life" is the most important work in Schopenhauer's collection of essays. His thoughts have always influenced contemporary European and American philosophical thought. In Schopenhauer's elaboration of concepts such as love, will, character, heredity, life and death, and misanthropy, people can clearly understand the core content of life issues and the fundamental answers to universal phenomena.
Reader comments
If you are careful enough and observe various things in human society, you will find that the underlying logic of the world's operation is violence and deception. Therefore, the keynote of life is destined to be suffering. How can a castle built in the void be stable?
Realizing this does not make you pessimistic, on the contrary, it is the greatest positivity and optimism, because your biggest opponent and enemy is the blind and disorderly will, and the ideas imposed on you by the external world.
When you gradually get rid of the influence of these things on you and make your own choices, you are truly free.
This is a philosophy of life work that integrates solipsism, pessimism, voluntarism and nihilism. Schopenhauer believed that life is unfortunate and tragic, pain is constant, and happiness is temporary. He proposed that "the world is my representation", and will is the core and essence of the world. Life is painful, and the contemplation of beauty can eliminate the differences between things and myself, and achieve the state of unity of things and myself, and even "selflessness". It is very comforting and instructive for people who are in mental pain.
Focusing on the two aspects of "love" and "life", it explains the truth and contradictions in life. In the book, Schopenhauer raised objections to many phenomena in life and held a pessimistic view on the relationship between the sexes, but what he said also exists in reality. In today's society, for people who are increasingly lacking a sense of happiness, this book can become a compass, guiding readers to examine themselves and helping readers to free themselves from desires. In Schopenhauer's elaboration of concepts such as love, will, character, heredity, life and death, and misanthropy, people can clearly understand the core content of life issues and the fundamental answers to universal phenomena. Although Schopenhauer's views are somewhat pessimistic, we cannot choose to escape just because of pessimism. We must face various problems in life and actively solve them.... A person can not only understand the pain of the world through the exploration of free will, but also gain relief from personal experience of excessive pain. From birth to death, from birth to death, and back and forth, life is not easy. Joy and distress coexist, do not indulge or resist, it will be natural and smooth.
The author's voluntarist philosophy with a strong pessimism not only affected Wang Guowei's academic thoughts, but also affected his outlook on life. Lao She shaped Luo Tuo Xiangzi based on his pessimistic philosophy. It's more like a mirror. It combines solipsism and pessimism. This also shows the pain of the author's record of thinking that life is impossible, and happiness is short-lived. For contemporary people whose sense of happiness is becoming more and more certain, this book can be like a mirror to clear away the fog and correct themselves.
Schopenhauer called the hindrance of the will in pursuing its goals pain or defect, and the situation in which the will reached its goal was called happiness or satisfaction. In this sense. Pain is constant, happiness is temporary. Because there is no ultimate goal in human pursuit, this will to life determines that pain and defects are the essence of life. The human life phenomenon is also the objectification of the will to survive, and it is the creature with the most needs among all creatures. When the phenomenon of human life is affirmed by the will of human life, life is unfortunate and tragic.
When the Maya veil of the principle of individualization is held high in front of a person's eyes, there is no distinction between "self" and "self". He is as concerned about the suffering of others as his own suffering. Not only will he do his best to help others, but he will even sacrifice himself to save the majority of people. Following this, if a person knows his innermost true self, he will definitely be willing to bear the pain of existence and the whole world with his own body. For him, all disasters and pains are not other people's business. He will not watch others suffer without being indifferent. As long as he indirectly knows, no, as long as he thinks that others are likely to be distressed, it will have the same effect on his spirit.
Schopenhauer is a famous German philosopher. He has profound thoughts and a sad background. He is known as the "Great Lonely". His thoughts were profound and pessimistic and had a wide impact on subsequent philosophy, literature and art. "The distress of love and life" is a contradiction commonly faced by human beings. Love can bring joy and happiness, but it can also bring pain and sadness. Schopenhauer's thoughts have a profound influence on modern philosophy, literature and art. His pessimism had a significant impact on later existential philosophy, modernist literature, and film.
Standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world and life, the ultimate goal is to find the true existence of oneself and affirm the meaning of life
There is a lot to think about, but of course we cannot believe everything. We still need to have a questioning spirit...
Exists by chance, must perish
It has a lot of feelings and is worth reading. I am still too young now and don't have a deep understanding of life. I will read it again in the future.
Life is hard, and the pendulum of desire hovers between boredom and pain.
The essence of life will is to constantly pursue desires.
When our desires are not satisfied, we feel pain;
After our desires are satisfied, we fall back into boredom.
Life is like a pendulum, swinging back and forth between pain and boredom.
Just as when we desire wealth, power, love, etc., We will work hard to achieve these goals;
But in the process of pursuit, we will encounter various difficulties and setbacks, which will make us feel painful.
And when we finally achieve these goals, we will find that these things cannot bring us real happiness and satisfaction, so we will fall into boredom again.
Love
Love is the expression of the will to life. It is an instinctive impulse that prompts us to pursue and possess others.
However, love also brings pain and suffering.
Because the people we love are often beyond our control, they may leave us, betray us, or die.
In addition, love can also cause us to fall into a state of self-centeredness and ignore the feelings and needs of others.
Relief
Through art, philosophy, religion and other methods to transcend the constraints of life will and reach a state beyond pain.
Art can make us temporarily forget the pain of reality and immerse ourselves in the world of beauty;
Philosophy can give us a deeper understanding of the nature of life, thereby reducing the pursuit of desires;
Religion can make us believe that there is a world beyond reality, thereby gaining spiritual comfort.

1. "Life is a mass of desires. If desires are not satisfied, there will be pain. If desires are satisfied, there will be boredom. Life will swing between pain and boredom."
2. "People are like hedgehogs in the cold winter. If they get too close, they will feel pain. If they are too far away, they will feel cold."
3. "No matter what we do or do not do, our first consideration is almost always the opinions of others. As long as we observe carefully, we can see that more than half of the worries and fears we experience come from this concern. It is the basis of our easily injured self-esteem - because it is pathologically sensitive - and the basis of all vanity, conceit, showing off, and pomp."
4. "Wealth is like sea water: the more you drink, the more thirsty you become."
5. "A man of profound and noble thoughts should not allow his spiritual thoughts to be so completely occupied by private trivialities and base worries that he cannot engage in profound and noble thinking, for to do so is indeed to "destroy the purpose of life for the sake of living."
Very powerful! Worth reading again and again
A good book that makes people think about existence. The core point of this book should be to demonstrate that will is the core of existence. Will embraces individuals and serves the interests of the race, and will will not disappear with the death of the individual.
In Schopenhauer's view, both love and the existence of life are inherently sad. That is to say, the meaning of life is the integration of people's will to survive. Once the phenomenon of human life is affirmed by the meaning of life, life is called pain. Perhaps this is the reason why he advocates asceticism. For such people, I am still too superficial. But whether you are falling out of love or in a period of confusion, this book is a good mirror.
The examples given in the book are very vivid and the communication in simple and easy-to-understand terms has benefited me a lot. I will read it again!
It is a good book that reveals the nature of human nature and life. It is worth reading again and again.
I would like to ask who translated this?
Swallowing jujube, knowing only a little bit
Broad dimension to detailed
Very beautiful, very touching to the soul
Worth reading again and again
Some of the views in the book are deviated from the past when understood by modern science, but only the core philosophical ideas are profound and have sufficient understanding of themselves. I was inspired.
This book is worthy of repeated review, revealing the deeper philosophical meaning of life and death.

What is the meaning of existence; what is death?
