In the history of philosophy, there is a thinker who has won the love and fascination of many world-class masters with his profound insight and unique insight, and he is Schopenhauer, who is known as the "father of solitary philosophy".
His masterpiece "The Wisdom of Life" is a masterpiece full of wisdom and insight, and whenever I am confused, I will read it repeatedly, and each time I can get new revelations and understandings. Today, I will share with you 5 of these classic quotes, I believe that after reading them, you will have a more transparent understanding of life.
1. "Health is more important than anything else." It is better to be a healthy beggar than to be a sick king. Optimistic temperament, good health, full of energy, gentleness, conscience, and the ability to perceive things for what they are, these are advantages that cannot be compensated for or replaced by status or wealth. ”
Here Schopenhauer emphasized the importance of health. In this materialistic world, we often work hard for fame and fortune, but neglect the health of our bodies. However, health is our most valuable asset, and without health, everything is empty talk. Only with a healthy body can we enjoy the beauty of life and have the energy to pursue our dreams. Therefore, we should always pay attention to our physical health, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and let ourselves be full of vitality and vitality.
2. "The good and bad fortunes in life depend not so much on what we encounter as on how we encounter them." ”
This quote tells us that our attitude and approach to life's fortunes and misfortunes are crucial. Different people will react and deal with the same thing differently. Some people are able to remain calm and optimistic in difficult situations, actively looking for solutions to problems, while others are stuck in pessimism and despair. Therefore, it is not the thing itself that determines the direction of our life, but our attitude towards it.
3. "A little examination of life reveals that the two great enemies of human happiness are misery and boredom. Life is like a pendulum, oscillating back and forth between these two ends, either violently or gently—either painful or boring, and there is always one thing that cannot be escaped. ”
Schopenhauer's words profoundly reveal the truth of human life. We pursue happiness, but we often get bogged down in pain. When we are exhausted physically and mentally exhausted from the struggle for life, pain follows us. And when we have all the external satisfaction, we find that the heart is still empty and boring, as if everything is meaningless.
However, life is not all about pain and boredom. In between, there are countless possibilities. We can learn to grow in pain and find joy in boredom. Every setback is an opportunity for growth, and every boredom is a moment of reflection.
4. "No matter whether others praise us and satisfy our vanity, or belittle us and hurt our feelings, we must try not to be humble or arrogant, but not to be shocked." Otherwise, one becomes a slave to other people's views or opinions. ”
This quote tells us to maintain our independence and autonomy and not be swayed by the opinions and opinions of others. In this society, we are always judged and commented on in a variety of ways. If we care too much about what others think, we will lose our own judgment and opinions, and we will become drifting with the crowd. Therefore, we should learn to maintain our own independent thinking and judgment ability, not be swayed by the remarks of others, and stick to our own beliefs and pursuits. Only in this way can we truly become masters of our own lives.
5. "Happiness mainly depends on peace of mind and inner satisfaction. ”
This sentence is Schopenhauer's most direct interpretation of happiness. In this era of competition and pressure, we often neglect inner peace and contentment in pursuit of external achievements and material comforts. However, you will find that it is only when we learn to let go of the distractions and distractions in our hearts and let our hearts be truly at peace and contentment, that we can truly feel the existence of happiness. Therefore, we should learn to pay attention to our inner world, cultivate a peaceful and contented heart, and let happiness take root in our hearts.
These views of Schopenhauer seem simple but very profound, and they are worthy of repeated taste and practice. When we truly understand and practice these wisdoms, I believe that we will have a more transparent understanding of our own lives, and we will be able to walk more calmly and firmly on the road of life.
