"The best way to keep a prisoner from ever escaping is by making sure that he never knows he's in a prison in the first place . that he never feels he is in one. " - Fyodor Dostoevsky
When I was a kid time was slow , it felt magical. I use to walk everywhere and enjoyed it and now life is serious and stressful, mood swings etc. İf someone offered me a billion dollars or go back to my childhood I would choose my childhood.
Some wild animals live better than humans, they ain't paying taxes, but if you try to do the same the feds will come after you. If there was an alternative to escape the now, I'd give a billion dollars to be a weaverbird.
@@davemwangi05 You can go off the grid. Even some of the urban homeless are people who are neither criminals, the mentally ill or addicts and alcoholics. Some are true social dropouts. Be a true social dropout with no relation to the tax rolls either positive or negative and the government will hate you. The taxpayer themselves will fear you. The dependency cases won't care.
@@davemwangi05 It is getting hard to get away. Maybe 20 years ago I heard a radio interview of a man who claimed to be immortal. Claimed. He said that it was getting harder and harder to create new identities. I didn't believe he was immortal. You don't need to be immortal to figure that one out. Although millions manage it in Western countries. So do the unknown number of reverse refugees who leave the West and go live in some non-Western country under a false identity.
I went to prison at 23, was out around 29. After prison the us deported me away from my family. The day I stepped “free” I looked around at the world and realized it was just one giant prison.
@@ChelsieMorganTonightwho said overcoming things can’t give you happiness? Life isn’t meant to just be an enjoyment. Because bad things will happen and suffering will happen to everyone. We must overcome that though. So maybe before criticizing, try to understand?
You’re right, he was miserable, and a bigot and a misogynist. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t have insightful things to say. True satisfaction and joy are byproducts of overcoming obstacles. Just doing things for the sake of enjoyment is self centered and illusionary, I believe is the sentiment of the quote.
Accepting the suffering without any hope makes you kind of more free. The hope is like a prison itself that traps yourself in time that only exists in your head and you'll never reach the point you're hoping for.
@@Nicelynicely88 no I mean of both. Although hope is not a clear expectation for something to happen, you still wish for something to happen, that will end your suffering, that is not in your control. You label the present moment as bad and the potential future moment as good. The end of suffering lies within dedication to the present moment, not in the future (that not really exists).
This is one of the reason I said I don’t want to have children. I know I don’t care for life;not like I want to end it or anything, BUT the “fun” things are far and few between the stuff we have to do but don’t want to do is the majority of our lives.
Trouble is, life continues regardless of what we want. Humanity could end but life would continue. Anything less than destroying the planet will not change that.
You are a true beauty...maybe if you find the right person you will want to raise a family the right way in love. But if not...I hope you live the way that's best for you
I never looked at the world like this until I started getting old and as I get older I feel and see so much more pain and suffering but I agree that true compassion is the key
@WalkoftheEarth.Production There must be a reason, higher purpose why we where send in this prison, why we are here. I have notice that we have just one thing to do in our life and it's to survive as long and as good as we can, nothing more special to achieve. Simply survive.

Me too. I had felt this since the moment I came on this world. Intuitively. I was shocked with the nature of this world since I was born. But, I know deep down, there's a real world without suffering, that we can't percept with this physical body. Maybe, some of us can, but that feeling disappears quickly. We should evolve in spiritual life. We really need to recall who we are really, spiritual beings before everything else.
We can’t ever leave this place unless we were very very rich & we can only leave it for a very limited time before we had to come back plus our lives are all controlled by the rich & powerful!
@@degaussingatmosphericcharg575 Well if you feel like a prisoner in this body and this material world, call it as you like, spirit or something else, who or what does feel it? And why? It's a philosophical question, not wishfull thinking.
A friend of mine had a mantra he used in his sales career......"Humans will avoid pain more energetically than they will seek pleasure." His strategy was to find their pain points and offer solutions. This was a great strategy that typically resulted in a "win/win" outcome.
I'm so glad I never had kids. I never brought someone in to the world to suffer. I've had depression (and chronic insomnia) my whole life. Both things have had an enormous impact on my life - school, work, emotionally, physically, socially, etc. I had an abusive childhood, and am still dealing with it in middle-age. I just can't see the point to life. There isn't any meaning, etc. It's just random. I have read self-help books over the years, trying to be more positive. But I just slip back into pessimism. I'm not religious but if I was I would say hell is right here on earth.

Schopenhauer is my favourite philosopher because I came to the exact same conclusion few years ago when I removed the rose tinted glasses and had a good look at myself and the real sufferings of all sentient beings, it can immensely help us to realise that we are all in the same place and we are all suffering That appreciation can give us the much needed tolerance for every sentient beings.
The sad part is it could all be so much better if we could work together,but we never will. There were points in history where some societies did, but nothing good can last here.

I've been to prison. The real deal. Minimum security chill compared to medium amd maximum. It was actually a relief from the outside, the stress of worrying over my case for way more years than I did. Got 3 squares, got to work outdoors in the sun. fresh air, managed to actually eat well considering it's prison, simple life, no hustle bustle stress, got fit, just behave and respect your fellow inmates. We learned collective compassion of our fellow sufferers in there better than we could on the outside. We are all just trying to get done and to a better place whether on the inside or the outside. It's all the same.
I could see that. On the outside it’s nothing but stress all the time to get up early and work yourself to death to get ahead and make something of yourself. There’s a long way to fall and nobody to blame but yourself if it doesn’t pan out. In incarceration there is nothing you can do about it so it’s probably a load off the mind in a way.
I've wondered about this several times. Ive never been in trouble with the law, but I've talked with several who have been imprisoned. Many look back with a mix of fear and fondness.
I did time In NYS, 7 years to be exact and idk there were stabbings every single day, at least one death a month, I can't say it was even remotely stress free and I was in there for white collar crimes so I wasn't even a target. But ur always looking over your shoulder b
In terms of the real deal on the inside, it all depends of the security level. I was in Federal Prison Camp. That's a cake walk compared to medium or max and definitely better than county or state. It's basically 'prison light' but you can easily slide to medium if you fuck up and get a shot (violation) and worse, lose your good time. Bottom line is that you don't get too involved with anyone and mind your own business.
True compassion is so rare to find. It is often defiled with narcissism, dark empathy and self-interest. People use it to put their life above a "fellow-sufferer" without realizing that life will humble them in time, with more ferocity they hoped.
Life is a vicious cycle of pain and suffering. We seek pleasure to end constant pain. Instead of understanding pain of others, we inflict pain to others so we may feel pleasure. To feel better from our miserable lives, we take pleasure in seeing people who are more miserable than we are to alleviate their own pain.
True. We also need to think about why we are here. Nobody knows. People turn to religion but it takes you nowhere. Millions have been murdered by all the religions. Practicing religion gives people something to do but is very empty. Read the book HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH. Even if you do not agree, the author will make you think !!!

I love Schopenhaur. He honestly makes me laugh,when he isn't depressing me. He was self-honest - the most difficult and rare of human virtues. He loved animals. He was one of the very first Europeans to study Eastern thought and referred to the Upanishads as the consolation of his life. No matter how unflinchingly pessimistic life was,he stuck it out,because it was "all so fascinating!"
It truly is fascinating. Observing humanity trying to deal with their circumstances and make some kind of sense of their lives in a world of nearly 8 billion competing interests, may be the most fascinating part.
Schopenhauer is hilarious, that is what many people do not understand, I have cried of laughter reading him. He was a genius, one of the brightest minds ever existed. In him I found many of my own thoughts that I didn't know how to put into words.
Never clicked on a video so fast! I've been feeling like life is a prison for years. We're forced to be here and in order to live a relatively comfortable life we're forced to work. If you want a job you actually like you have to study hard, work hard, or just get extremely lucky. Either way you look at it, life is hard.
this reminds me of when i was 24. i was out of a job and depressed and i started hanging out with this millionaire friend i know. he took me to a big city and all we did for months was get drunk and go do all sorts of activities from being in a tv show studio audience to theme parks to strip clubs every single night. i had a blast but after months of doing this as crazy as it sounds it wasn't fun anymore. i suddenly realized that i had to earn my own fun. i had to work and go through bad things in order to enjoy the good times. the hardships make the good times that much better.
I’ve had similar experiences , swerving suffering will just make it that much more difficult when it comes . Creating your own little pleasure bubble is not conducive when the trials and tribulations come knocking at the door. We need those negative experiences to toughen us up for the next trial. There’s nothing new under the sun ,suffering is part of life ,except that fact and your handle it a lot better , especially when the rewards of the good times arrive ( briefly) There’s more to this life than meets the eye ,and we’ll all find out one day . God bless.
Schopenhauer is the only philosopher who didn't sugarcoated the existence and life rather he just stated the truth whether it is painful or hurtful. I think in somewhat similar ways as him.
and the sad thing is, we are on the cusp of things becoming radically more "prison-ish". ill leave a few key words for you and others: global technocratic society cashless society social credit score carbon credit score, carbon footprint, net zero, etc. ------------------------------------ in a nutshell, our future per the globally powerful super-elite is as follows for all of us neo-peasants: constant 24/7 surveillance and monitoring (even our dreams when asleep !) limited food options (transition to bug protein instead of animal per climate change BS) limited travel, if any.
Clearly he never been in prison. Being conscious matter, in a cavalcade of support and care and laughter and pain, is life, and extraordinary. Being locked in a 6x8 box is a whole other level of suck.
What you are talking about is merely a prison within a prison. Additional layers of restrictions and limitations on an already restricted existence. Reality is objectively a prison in that it is designed around limitations and restrictions. Outside of that prison is the equivalent of a dream except that is the true reality. Only when you are sleeping are you truly free.. When you are awake is actually the illusion. @@gavinmckee9211
Schopenhauer is the recognition of our human condition, while the stoics (Seneca the elder, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius) show us the path toward personal redemption...: Do not judge others Live a virtuous life of service Do not take yourself too serious Understand the essence of existence All of the above leads us to merciful compassion toward all our fellow travelers along the road if life....
The first three one may simply decide to do, but to "understand the essence of existence" is another matter. I feel like if you did that, the first three would be automatic.
Don’t know who gets credit for saying this, but it’s a good approach to life: ‘Be kind, for everyone is fighting a great battle.’ Schopenhauer would agree.
Bro, if we are kind to one another, then we may be living in a trapped illusion, or may be we became programmed robots, humans have many emotions n qualities, u r thinking is like just like Nazi's like only certain things should exist, others r not needed(of course u r thinking is in a good way) but whenever someone tells about kindness, I remember a quote-"IF TRUTH IS CRUEL THEN KINDNESS MUST BE A LIE".
And in my opinion that philosopher don't agree with u r opinion,because they r not like us they know the reality far better than us. Unlike us who only see the surface or one side of a coin they see beneath the surface or other side of the coin.
The worst part of all, is that i believe we all feel as if we've been here forever, i feel that way, because if it's all you've ever known, then that is your eternity.
@@hoodieap2858 The body is a disposable vehicle to navigate this existence. Life is an experience, a window of opportunity to participate in a group setting with limited sensual perception and learn from it. Some of us are here to learn specific lessons, others are here just for the experience, usually called NPC's (non-participating characters). The conscious mind does not die, it is energy therefore cannot be created nor destroyed, just converted from one form (body) to another. If you feel that your existence is a version of the movie 'Groundhog Day', maybe it is and you have been coming here repeatedly to learn a lesson you are unwilling to learn. Introspection is the key out of this dilemma. There are always clues to what you need to learn to move on. Have the courage to look for those clues, usually some continually recurring PIA situation, and embrace it for the experience itself. There is no *exalting meaning of life* other than learning from the experience. Think about it...Life itself is a terminal condition, meaning it has a beginning and an end. It is designed that way purposefully because the lessons to be learned can be done so in a short period of time, *IF* you choose to do so. You are young, only 17 and you have the chance to learn this epiphany at the beginning of your journey, whereas I have learned it near the end of mine. There is no right or wrong in learning it, no woulda, coulda, shoulda; no time limits...just a dedication to learn those lessons no matter how many lives (experiences) it takes to do so.
@@LuisSierra42 well, actually, it's the subjective experience of consciousness that is forever prone to suffering. It is due to the first two marks of existence that suffering arises (the third mark), which are impermanence and non-self. So the world actually, and all of existence, are characterised by perpetual change, which means that it's non-self (known as Emptiness in Mahayana), which in turn gives rise to suffering.
When I reached 60 years old I started coming to grips with reality of life. I am much happier now accepting the truth. We all suffer in life. No matter what we do. Good or bad. So don't let it grind your own life down more.
Gary I was 69 when I got a kick to the nuts so hard that I had to rethink everything. A couple things that I came to the realization about are: This is just an experience. We are in this experience for the emotional value and what we learn from them. The value of this experience is determined by our perception and the choices we make...change your perception and your choices and it is a whole new game.

The only thing we can do is find pleasure in the simple things in life like the beauty of nature, or lying in a warm bath on a cold day or finding humour in everyday situations and being with friends or family.
I agree. I think that the circumstances of life are often consistently hard in one way or the other but I think you can find joy through gratitude and not expecting life to be pain free and marveling at the beautiful things in life.
As long as I have the freedom of a choice thst I can make, I dare to contest this kind of claim. Instead of thinking in absolutes, how about questioning the nature of our reality... hint: Chris Langan.

I once had this outlook on life in my early 20s. Our souls stuck in a 3 Dimensional world. Sent here because our soul was flawed. I will never forget the time I was just sitting with my dad having a conversation. He was eating a bag of chips like Doritos or something else generally unhealthy. I got this overwhelming feeling of sympathy, like our souls were trapped in these bodies that feel pain, and here was my father eating a bag of poison, in a sense. It was the saddest thought I ever had, and this feeling of sorrow for myself and everyone around me followed me for a long time. As I got older I realized it was my choice how I wanted to perceive this existence. If you sit and think about the concept of existence itself enough, it can blow your mind. To me, this existence is so much better than nothing at all. I am willing to push through what my life has to give and realize that the chances I am even alive is incomprehensible. This world is absolutely incredible if you really sit and think about it. The perspective and awareness of the human mind can show you how absolutely beautiful this 3d world is, prison or not. A lot lately I picture myself if I were suddenly on my death bed. How many things I would still want to experience. How many things I got to feel, and how worth all the pain was. I choose to tackle pain, mental or physical. I show it how much stronger my mind is than it could ever be. And even if it wins a battle here and there, it will never win the war. Life is perspective. Once you learn this and realize it is your own choice, you could be smiling every day, and lifting the people around you.
the more I ponder life, and the more perspectives (such as yours) I take in, I realize that we may all actually be parts of the same conscience. It used to baffle me that people don't think about the absurdity of life more, and the seemingly impossibility of it all, but, I also hardly ask people how they really feel about all this, chances are, they feel the same as you and I. I'm not going to rant, I'm just happy to be here, it's all so magical, with suffering or not. I hope you all have marvelous lives filled with highs and lows. I hope you all realize it's temporary. to end this little midnight semi drunken post, remember, it's all about love.
Perception is reality, but pain and suffering is also reality. You can only perceive pain as pain. There are definitely things here that you can put a positive spin on, but there are many more things here where this isn't possible. This is a prision. This doesn't mean you cannot experience joy . Everything here, even the most beautiful things here have the potential to cause great pain and suffering. From the most beautiful mountain vistas, to your newborn child . They can all cause pain and suffering. Whoever, or whatever created this realm created it with suffering in mind. This is a parasitic realm. We are infinite, there is more to this than we can possibly comprehend. I'm sure there are worse places to be and some much better......
"Why not adopt a more positive, more hopeful perspective?" Well, because personal truth is more important than happiness. And I agree with Schopenhauer's bleak view of the world. We have those short moments of joy, but the bigger picture is just really dark and miserable.
and thats why i dont even wanna have those micro moments of joy i resist it the more i grow up cus i am like why have those micro moments of joy when i am gonna be anxious over smth and cry litrl the next day i dont want those happy moments i'll be okay if i keep having sad days tho dont want any false hope
I've lived 40yrs so far and can't imagine why ppl aren't following this philosopher. Im just discovering him now but have figured this out decades ago. The only thing I've done right in this world is not having kids. Maybe the coulda made a difference in a few lives but undoubtedly the would contribute to the wheel of suffering like everyone else. Great video btw
I've been feeling this... I'm 47 and my life has been a struggle, lots of emotional pain, lots of worry, stress and sadness. Literally my entire life aside from when I was a kid riding my bike. Perhaps we were very bad ppl in our previous existence and have been casted out of a much higher amazing and powerful realm. I've always strongly felt there's much more then this, what we are living. It's my opinion that our technology is not impressive, not at the least for me anyway. But yea I for one hate this existence...
@dogsarespecial42 I've thought the same. I have many thoughts / theories. One thing that really peeves me is the 5k to 12k year time line on ancient megalithic structures. I can't stand it. It's my opinion that there's been MANY technologically advanced civilizations on this earth before us. Yet Humanity just can't admit to theirselves that we're not the 1st, and also NOT the most advanced. The designs in which many of the stones are cut are done with Laser precision and some are cut at angles in which scientists can't figure out how it was done. Esp if primitive tools were used. The carvings in Egypt in the pyramids and top to bottom on obelisks appear to be done using stencils they're soo perfect and also Identical . We do this today with our technologically advanced equipment so please, how in the hell was this done using copper chisels and stones as hammers lmao!! I think NOT... The Ego is a terrible thing, also a major problem on this earth! Soo many ppl just can't admit things to themselves esp even when the truth is seemingly right in front of them! All I hear is where's the proof blah blah blah, but honestly, all you have to do is open your damn eyes and be honest with yourself! Another thing I find very strange, if we're all from this earth originally then why is it that between states, and continents we differ in huge ways, looks, skin colors, body types, and also speech accents. Language I can kinda understand . But accents, and looks are a big one. What I mean is when I see someone that's Russian or Ukraine. They have a certain look to them, kinda as Asian ppl do but to me it's very different.
@dogsarespecial42 I've never done the Ancestry Research. I feel like although interesting none of it truly matters because what truly matters is where our Souls come from, and there's no DNA testing a Soul! Infact Scientists cannot even explain the Soul or where it is.. Basically it's our consciousness, but soo much more! It's my ridiculously strong belief that my souls origin comes from someplace far away from here or even perhaps another Dimension! Here's the thing... I see this world very differently then most do, I also have never fit in Basically anywhere, friends for me have ALWAYS been very temporary and ppl end up not really liking me after some time passes.. It's not that I'm a bad person because I know I am not. I'm a very good person, respectful, Loyal, Loving, etc. But I believe what the problem is, it's my very Ora that ppl cannot handle. For example, if I'm around nothing but ppl with Dark Souls if they even have one can only handle my presence for soo long until the can no longer since I am a being of Light. I don't wish to sit here and talk about myself or seem as if I am boasting because I assure you I am not! But I'll introduce myself a bit to you, I've spent much time over the last few yrs getting to identify who I am, and understand myself better since all my life I had always felt lost, out of place, confused etc. I am an Introvert so I am uncomfortable in masses of ppl, I prefer being alone whenever possible, I took the Myers Briggs Personality test and made alot of sense to myself! I happen to have the Rarest Personality Type in the world. Roughly only 2% of the world's population has my Personality. It's called INFJ. I have a sister who is a few yrs younger then me and we are very alike, also look very alike, as it turned out she too is INFJ and she and I are both Virgos . I am what's called a Sigma Male, very unlike an Alpha Male. Based on much research I've done I believe I am a StarSeed from someplace else whom is Chosen by God, we are sent here to help others to try changing this world being it is a very Evil Place. But the Evil knows who we are well before we know ourselves so we end up living extremely difficult and painful lives, our lives are very manipulated by the Darkness so that we are kept held back, suppressed, kept from moving fwd and being able to carry out our given tasks inside Humanity. I've never agreed with this Society based on rules, Having to Grind our lives away for money to survive. It's all really just a control based reality and honestly a very sneaky hush hush form of slavery, we ALL are. Think about those in control or above us... Well how did they come to be in the first place?!. Why do ppl need leaders? Why not be our own leaders. I feel I could direct this world much better then any so called President ever has! And then there are the "Royal Families" they claim their Bloodlines are Special!! So what makes it Special?? And why is it soo very important for them to preserve their lineage?? Are they really even from this earth?? I mean seriously... They are very strange ppl and seemingly out of place! There's many many questions and things / facts on this Earth that are very obviously off! Anyway, it's been a nice chat with you, and these are just some things for you to think about.. ❤️✨️☝️
@dogsarespecial42 one more thing for you to think about.. Much of science has things that are based on best guess theory! This is a fact. Yes I am a fan of Ancient Aliens. The funny thing is much of what I've always said or felt ends up being said on the show. I believe pretty much everything they say to be Science Fact! I've been Seeing certain things and having certain experiences since I was a kid. Now being 47. But this past few yrs have absolutely been the most interesting for me. Like all the truth in this world has been poured out of a bottle. The war between Good & Evil is very real and at its all time high in our day. I've been personally attacked by the Evil many times. I've actually looked ppl directly into their eyes and could see it was something else looking back at me. Like the Devil attacking one of his Siblings being he Hates them and soo Jealous of them.

The gist of this theory, is essential to the religion of Muhammad who came with Islam 1400 years ago. He Said: "Life is a believer's prison, and a disbeliever's paradise."

@@savagemolonlabe9234 what a simplistic view, as if many things in life are in our control. the larger components of life are controlled which creates the most issues for people.
@@savagemolonlabe9234 That's the thing. Schopenhauer didn't believe people could be happy. He thought feeling less misery and pain was the aim because life was inherently painful
We have just been programmed to go and look for this and that to be happy. Instead of living for creation, we are competing among ourselves and surviving. Nonsense.
I feel like the modern age is a prison life, where we MUST work to pay bills or become homeless and live on the streets, we are shackled by money that pays for food and shelter which means we cannot go with work long before our savings run dry. We are forced to live out a life of work, most of us do jobs we despise just to get by and it is our burden until retirement. We are already in a 60-70 year prison sentence the moment we are born as we have to go to school, then work until we are too old and grey to handle it, at that point our youth is wasted.
New Order... We are not forced into this lifestyle. Granted, we are programmed by society to live that way and feel we "MUST" follow our programming, but it isnt our only option. Many, many people opt to deprogram themselves and 'live off the grid' to one extent or another. In fact the kids born after the year 2000 have opted out of the program. I always hear employers say the younger people today are lazy and dont want to work. The generation before them didnt buy into the 'American Dream' either and decided to *NOT* buy the big house, have the 2.3 kids and expensive cars that the marketers tell them they have to buy. Instead they are living in very small inexpensive apartments, working decent paying jobs with 'normal' hours and spending their money on vacations and travel. Even though you dont think it is, it is still a choice. Some of us get it young and others dont get it until later in life...if at all.
@@elonever.2.071 I live in a cheap apartment by choice too, working part time soon. But I still need to go to work in order to pay even these little bills and your savings won't last forever. Part of me wants to travel off into a tropical forest somewhere like Bear Grissilly though
@@NewOrderOfAlexandria Fear of failure and addiction to the modern amenities are the only things holding most people back. Overcome both of these and they will truly experience freedom. I live in a small town that is a resupplying point along the Appalachian Trail and I see and talk to a lot of people who have abandoned society for the summer to 'find themselves' or seek answers'. Some of them do it just for the experience. And they do it weeks at a time with only the things they can carry on their back. If you invest your time and money for the benefit of utility companies and marketers, there is rarely enough to make you feel secure. Invest in yourself however, and you will be surprised at how little you really need in terms of money and sustenance.
@@sirus312 I can't wait to travel again, I used to go Spain every year (two years ago, before covid - I am from England) I've travelled to other places and my small home town really is a insignificant ghost town compared to some of the beautiful and busy places I've been.
In Western countries there's a lot of loneliness and a sense of imprisonment but if you go to the poorer countries more family and socially oriented the lifestyle and the level of human spiritual connection is amazing.
The lack of predictability, order and rationality in the face of temporal events is one of the aspects that make us happy but at the same time it is the reason why it impoverishes us.
I've never been. But I think in the west we are so comfortable most people imagine problems that don't exist and have no understanding of what's really important.
For people the problem is a law of diminishing returns - aging is inevitable the older you get and there's less and less to look forward to because that's how the physics of our world just are (or are designed). Plus, you can die from illness or a broken heart etc, but you can't gain anything from something positive. Like you can't gain an extra life or a decade for something good happening but you can loose your life when something bad happens. Our world and universe has entropy and decay. Everything is always sliding in that direction automatically. So to make anything happen, create, maintain, save is all a battle. It's intriguing that the universe is this way, surely it could have been in any number of configurations? (potentially worse, even). Good video
I felt a major shift in how I viewed my life in my mid thirties... It just became so much more bleak. I often compared it to a prison. The thing is my life wasn't very different in my late teens to my mid thirties. It was just a deep dark nihilistic feeling of pointlessness. I have lived in this envelopment of melancholy ever since that weird epiphany.
I've had the same thing since about 30. I think it's realizing that everything you work for will be gone. All of the pain we suffer through is only leading us to our death, which we have ZERO understanding of.

Finally, some real talk. I want to quantify what he said about compassion though. I have compassion for good people who suffer. But for the rotten people in my life who have abused me and have not apologized, let alone even *acknowledged* their wrong-doing, I have no compassion. Yes, perhaps something bad happened to them in their past to make them this way but they've gone through their whole life with no self-examination, no self-reflection, and no reaching out for help or therapy to resolve whatever may have made them abusive narcissists.
I have a saying. 'they don't change, then they die'. You have to lower your expectations soooooooooo low, to where you just expect that from those types
A possible guideline for life: embrace the nightmare, no matter how bad it gets. If you can. Not to promote it but, to process it. To use the energy from those difficult circumstances for your benefit

Very well articulated and worth a watch. I couldn't have said it better myself. I would just add that I think we should treat all sentient beings with compassion, not just humans.
Those who are cruel to animals, usually tend to be cruel to humans. When we have empathy, we tend to have it towards animals as well as humans. We definitely should be thoughtful about how we treat other creatures.
@@brianschuetz2614most people are cruel to animals. So I guess that means most humans are bad. No one except mad men and religious fanatics value compassion.
This is unbelievable the world is indeed a prison. The same thing is written in Sri Bhagawat Gita (5000 years old Hindu book) and Vedanta (probably millions of years old). I know the same thing according to these books and the truth is we are spiritual beings stuck in this prison because of our karmas.
I am just now learning about the prison planet theory but when my daughter was just a tot maybe around 2 or 3 at the most she was playing when all the sudden she looked at me and said clear as day "Hell is a planet that we call Earth" I was stunned by this as we are not religious and had never discussed hell. I don't think that we had even talked about planets or Earth at the time. I thought it was a very bizarre thing for her to say. I have never forgotten it.
@billydee1879 It is 100% the truth. It 100% happened. It is something I still think about at least once a month. I have asked her about it several times and if she remembers it but she doesn't remember it and just shrugs and says IDK. She is 11 now. Another really weird thing she did when she was pretty young is ask her dad to turn off a documentary he was watching about China (because it was making her sad to remember her other family from when she was an old man in China before she came to us) She was probably 5 when that happened. She also claims that she remembers an old woman coming into her room when she was little and rocking her in the rocking chair and playing with her in the middle of the night. She claims it was my mom who she has only seen in pictures because my mom died about 10 years before she was born. She still remembers that well and is still convinced it was "that lady in the picture on the wall." Kids are super weird. My only regret is not questioning her more about these things when she was little but at the time I didn't want to put things in her head so I never really tried to question the things she said we just noted them. I have personally come to the conclusion that we are born with memories and possibly a more profound understanding of the world but lose it as we grow up and start really talking. Kids are wild. If you listen closely there is just no telling what knowledge they might enlighten you with. 😊
Count the amount of brilliant people you know (Not ones you've seen on TV or read about, but have known in the flesh). Now compare that to the amount of morons you've encountered in your life. *THIS IS DEFINITELY A PRISON*
Everyone around me feels like a living moron. Not many smart people tbh. I always wonder how or why we're so advanced if most people are slow and lazy. That 1% of smart people really be changing our world! And then the Elites kill the real smart people like Tesla for finding old technology that defeats our current understanding of even today's present technology. Wireless light bulbs should be a standard by now. So should every appliance in our house holds. But the Elites wanna make sure we can be tracked by there Gauges that track how much electricity we use and make sure we're stuck on fossil fuel why they ride around in UAP's and know about renewing their own avatar so they live super long lives. They also probably have the technology to ship one mind to another body. Just like avatar the movie. And us working class our stuck here to be there money slaves. The education system keeps you dummied down. You gotta work really hard just to have a place you think you own. When In reality the "Banks" feel like they Own every possession you worked hard for. So when you die. They just take it back and re sell it. The Elites make me sick.
Even if you DO count the ones you've read about or seen on TV!!!! It's almost worse because you know you'll probably never meet any of them because they lived long ago or are in some far away country or whatever.
I've loved Mr. Schopenhauer since 1975 when we met in my college humanities class. It was a required class, but at the time I didn't even know what "humanities" was. I was totally fascinated with learning about him, Nietzche, Spinoza, Kant, and other philosophers. They were talking about the important issues of life that I had never heard anyone from my small home town discuss before. Christianity wouldn't allow that. I was relieved that other people from the past saw the world the same way as I did. Best class I ever took!
Frederick NIETZSCHE, my favorite Philosopher. A disciple of Schopenhauer. Nietzsche was a Philosopher-Poet, so he added a stunning overview of Pessimism with his direct and insightful aphorisms. Your Will is weakest when you need it most! Inverse Cripple theory. You must love life as if you were to live it, as is, with no changes, for infinity. Eternal recurrence theory. Without music, Life would be a mistake.

I can't say that I agree with all the positions this video attributes to Schopenhauer. However, I find it comforting and enlightening to know that I am not the only one whose mind has gone down these dark paths.
It took time before I opened myself to Schopenhauer. When since I did, I have never looked back. As a cancer-survivor myself, and with both parents having cancer twice, and yet all of us still alive, his philosophy resonates deeply with me. From having ones illusions shattered to forming a new world view. Bleaker, but more honest. And every interaction and word spoken weighing more heavily. People tend to assume that it must be a life-changing event. Making you cherish every moment and be grateful. It certainly does. But it comes with a painful realization of how short life really is. And how much pain there still is to come.
Being that life is short wouldn't you rather live without, abnormalities, deformed, cancer or any other diseases. This is your punishment. Now, what did you do.
I remember when this channel was at 50K, now it’s knockin on a million. I’m so glad people have started or continued their journey into philosophy. Keep it up!

Unfortunately not even remotely enough and fast enough, most ppl probably think philosophy is boring, or nonsense (including quote uquote high IQ ones), or it must be obscure lengthy, while Schopenhauer was one of first who emphasized simplicity and clarity of philosophical writings and has to say also a lot about learning teaching and academia!
On the Suffering of the World was the first thing I ever read by Schopenhauer. His is one of the most relevant philosophies in the modern world. His ideas about pleasure and how it must be paid for by pain is weirdly comforting.
Consider me a Specialist. A qualified developmental psychologist and sociologists who did 10 years in an Australian prison. The world you live in has great trauma and great joy in equal measure. You just look at your resources and adapt. Once you are comfortable you find what makes you happier while defending Safe. But isn't that the same for all of us? Never give up hope. And if you have to go a bit crazy sometimes to adapt? Try not to break the rules. It's an experience that teaches you who you are and how poorly we live compared to our limited resources. Just surviving is a treasure.
To quote the wise words of every drill sergeant I've ever known: "Embrace the suck! It's not gonna get any better!" And I know that most are better for it.
There was actually a Sci-Fi novel back in the 80's with a similar premise, basically that the world is a prison for immortal 4th dimensional beings (think sort of like the Q, from Star Trek), where if you commit some crime you are sentenced to "life", in this case literally meaning "living a life", where you are born, age, die and then go back to your immortal existence hopefully learning humility or some other lesson. Depending on the severity of your crimes you can be forced to serve multiple "life" sentences and for the worst offenders you are stuck in basically a permanent loop of living one "life" after another forever. .
Aaron The author of that novel was a pretty advanced soul. He figured it out and in the best way he could, tried to tell the world about it. But like everything else, when the student is ready, the master will come.
Just the ones that dont get it. Earth is heaven and hell. People come here to experience lifes joys, love, food, sex, laughter etc... The demons or lower beings, even inanimate objects can earn a higher evolutionary spuritual evolution. Life is joy but also pain. Life sucks in old days because germs...primative conditions. We are at an amazing time.
For me it's an asylum. Why? Is it because, we have different weird mannerisms, mental illnesses (depression, anger and etc.) and none of us are normal.

You are absolutely correct, Lirian. And I know exactly why we are experiencing this insane asylum. (I published an inspired book on the subject in 2013.) You are a limitless being. But you are experiencing this world of LIMITATION due to an irrational idea (desire) that you had. (The Bible calls that irrational idea "the devil," "satan," etc.) This world is literally "God's" insane asylum for "His" temporarily insane children. And your healing and eventual release is guaranteed. "Good news," indeed! Want to know more? Seek and ye shall find. God's prophet has spoken.
Critical: there is no such valid metric of normalcy. There is only a measure of skill in identifying reality, acceptance there of, and adherence to what reality dictates. Reality being the forms and functions of existence. People oft equate man made (up) artifice as reality. This is in error. The neurosis you see are resultant of the inability to critically examine and understand mechanics of intellectual construct and exposure/experiences. The best you can do is understand why things work as they do.
If you could see that the mind is a demanding mechanism. A mechanism that can be used for good, and through that, the view or lens of life would change. Understand the desires and wants have no end being in a constant cycle of wanting/needing for the next whatever, putting your happiness at some future point is futility. Yet this is the prison that no one speaks of. Life is now and has always been now, in the present moment enjoy the ups and downs until there is neither. The constant judgments that are all day every day of how this is not good enough, or this didn’t come out right rehearsing the same dialogue in your head without a solution deadens the mind to living in the moment. All is good! Better than you know it to be.

Schopenhauer saw things like they are and noticed that our evolutionary substructure would be better off pushed towards compassion and entertainment rather than fear. He was not pessimist. He was an optimist who wanted to put humans on the path of compassion when he knew we had a proclivity towards heartlessness.

Hello, fellow-sufferers! You're still here. So am I. One day we won't be. And that's ok too. We are existence. That is all we know. This cannot change. It will not always feel the same though. If you want to transcend suffering, Eckhart Tolle is a very helpful person. Especially when it comes to turning off the noise within ourselves. Which does most of the heavy lifting for our daily suffering. Suffering is the inner resistance to what is. Pain is a feeling. Suffering is a reaction. Oftentimes, pain creates suffering. We have little choice in that matter. It is only natural to resist something physically painful. However, there is a difference between someone receiving a painful tattoo they have been looking forward to, and someone being tattooed against their will, as a means of torture. The tattoos could be identical. But the suffering is far worse for the one who resists it more. I love you all. Resist as little as possible. And the suffering will follow.
As someone who grew up in the system as a kid. I've always seen life as one long prison sentence with tv, food, and sex privileges. And not everybody even gets those basic things.

@@cosmiccrush22 Can't agree with that 100%... Grew up with folks that had physical handicaps that never seem to hold them back ! Maybe it is how one plays the hand that they are dealt ?
Society or the "system" is a con. The cheapness of it all is shocking. Read Freud's late book, "civilization and it's discontents". Once I read that the prison theory made a lot more sense. Schopenhauer and freud say very similar things but freud goes deeper into the how and why it is.
That last thought is really powerful! That every person needs support and companionship, so every person owes that to their neighbor. Thanks, Einzelganger!
The world and others owe you everything, especially dignity and fairness. If they can't deliver that, their atoms deserve to be scattered and recycled back into the fold
I’m 17 right now and I feel like every year slowly gets more and more unbearable, life is built upon the fear of pain and how to escape it. But I like to try and think of it as a yin and yang, pain cannot exist without pleasure, you need to find a healthy balance to try and make it more bearable.
Ahhh 17. 😊 Enjoy it, your life may seem like it’s miserable, it always does at your age, but your hour glass is just getting started. You’ll experience so much more… one day you’ll wake up elderly and long for the days of what we call right now. You’ll see.
I'm 36 and I agree things get worse but they also get better it also depends upon your circumstances and ability to overcome. For real though life sucks and we aren't free until we set ourselves free.
Fear and pain are products of the mind. Much pain is a product of fear. And fear is the boogeyman that asks "what if?". Learn to ask "what is?" and base your thoughts and actions around that
These views have actually helped me a lot -- along with a mesh of other philosphers' views. So much bad shit is going on in life and there's no way to avoid dealing with it. What helps though is being able to see that good things are mostly a bonus -- and also a miracle. It's a miracle that I get to spend time with the people i love, even though things never go as expected. I'm a poor working class guy, but I live more comfortably than others.. Things can always be worse, although it's extremely sad how much suffering there is. I believe the only thing i can really do for others is to reduce theirs and my suffering.

Life is mostly about luck; where you are born, genetics, looks, health, opportunities etc. Think about all the hell-holes and shit-holes in this world where you see innocent babies being born into terrible circumstances. I agree with Schopenhauer's views about existence; about how we are continually waiting for the next misfortune to befall us. Even wealthy people experience suffering and misery. All we can do is play the cards we are dealt, and make the best of it.
While I feel that deeply myself, it’s important in my opinion to clarify that that isn’t all life is. The gaps in between the misfortunes, that’s what life is about. Those moments that become beautiful memories. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.
I am a retired corrections mental health professional and used to run groups. The mental " living in prisons" metaphor was effective and resonated well with inmates.

Back when I was heavy into conspiracies like bohemian grove and 9/11 and "Nibiru" and such, there was a guy saying the world is literally a prison, and when you die they try to bait you to go into the light and even put fake dead relatives to coerce you in, but the light just wipes your memory and they send you right back into the prison in a different body, but that if you don't go into the light you can will yourself to your true place of origin.
