So while taking on new challenge of understanding philosophy I have started listening to philosophize this.
I came across this unusual concept of will to life.
I am just keeping to short so as to put forth what my takeaway was.
In human mind, there is a constant yearning for something always. We have this craving so as to achieve the so called happiness we feel.
Our world is made of things which all have this will to life, a will to exist and coexist.
We earn, play, eat, drive, buy, sell, love only to escape from this yearning, this constant restless feeling of not being happy enough.
We fall in love because of this restlessness, we try find people who are better than us, we try to find those who compliment us by having something we don't possess. This is because we wish to create our future generations better than us.
There are three types of people in the Arthur Schopenhauer's theory.
Two of those have this restless feeling constantly nagging them, who are 99.99 % of the people.
Type 1 decides to escape this by keeping new goals ahead of them, by trying to get rid of feeling of nothingness.
Type 2 gets irritated with the constant struggle and decide to do nothing to escape this feeling, going into depression.
and there is a Type 3 who take this feeling and transform it into a heavenly bliss by considering everything that exist around them as one.
They are always in bliss because to them its all one. It is always the happiness that surround them.
The few times we escape this restlessness is when we feel calm and soothing in the natures presence.
The mountains, sea and meadows makes us forget our struggles and allows us to exist just as a part of it all without any struggle reminder to make us sad.
I guess its all self explanatory, I didn't agree with all the concepts Arthur Schopenhauer has. But some of them are worth thinking about...
Mercy...
