“For Schopenhauer, this is not the principle of self-
consciousness and rationally-infused will, but is
rather what he simply calls “Will” — a mindless,
aimless, non-rational impulse at the foundation of
our instinctual drives, and at the foundational
being of everything.”
Insight
Be a net positive.
If everything in this universe is truly out of our control and power. Then we must be aware of the choices we
make and make a conscious effort to be a net-positive in the world because by consciously creating net
positivity in the universe we are thus creating net-positivity for ourselves since we are a manifestation of
everything and everyone around us.
Love and the Will-to-Life
IS LOVE REAL?
The ultimate manifestation and goal of the will-to-life is for humans to fall in love because in turn by doing so
people are able to continue the species and propagate.
"There is only one inborn error, and that is the
notion that we exist in order to be happy... So long
as we persist in this inborn error... the world will
seem to us full of contradictions. For at every step,
in great htings and small, we are bound to
expereince that the world and life are certainly
not arranged for the purpose of being happy. "
