Schopenhauer's Philosophy fills my heart with joy.

[Hoobifta]

By the way, bliss isn't happiness: colourfulness is bliss, but it's very sad, it's a false happiness. O teach me to fix myself, the great and self-composed Schopenhauer! You are my kind of man!

[Hoobifta]

Life with no details, blissful silly person! If Schopenhauer is that serious, then I add that I'm guilty of interacting. It's only unburdensome if you mean to the extreme. Extreme sincerity. I see negativity as just an illusion, it doesn't exist, I made it up.

[Hoobifta]

Now I'm enlightened. It was deathlike as an epicurean, and still as a Schopenhauerian. I had no idea that Schopenhauer is stamping his meaning. So true, I have no tasks, and I already enjoyed boredom. I will banish what I won, call me loving to be brainwashed!

[Hoobifta]

It's the upsetness with rain that's a bad joke, harsh speech for anti-subjective 'truth' is a bad joke. Does anyone at least wake up and realise you can create your own reality? And my reality is not your reality, reality varies with every person and negative consequences are bound to occur if you have different opinions. Concerning existence, if I stopped doing things I'd be glad. So I'm stealing Schopenhauer, not always busy again. No goals, my life isn't over, I don't care if I live or die.

allot of his views came from eastern traditions like Buddhism saying that suffering was brought about by desire and that we create reason to sort of embellish our desires

lonely sad men tend to love truth and face life for what it is: a cruel joke !

Arthur must have suffered immensely in this world of utmost ignorance. Its a such a lonely place to live where majority consist of average, boring people who all they need for their happiness is to get married and reproduce or be constantly in 'love' (sorry to abuse this word).God, I rather be alone than bored with someone. Its so hard to find soul that understands thus it is a true blessing to have at least a glimpse of understanding from other rare human being in this world full of vanity.

Arthur was much more than a representative of pessimism and gloom. If a little intelligence invites a little sorrow,..just imagine his struggle. He knew how to face the emptiness - he was 72 when he died. He was a fighter,and one of the greatest intellects the world has ever seen - a true master,..and,of course,unappreciated by the huddled masses. He told us that the intellect must be developed to the point of dominance over the 'will' - it being the source of most of our suffering.

He understands my soul.
