When Reading Schopenhauer

When reading Schopenhauer: Man, this guy is very elitist and snobbish. You can’t dismiss people as less conscious than you like that.

When on the tube: People who embark without waiting for others to get off are not fit to live in society.

When reading Schopenhauer: What do you mean that some people resolve to go through life with the least possible expenditure of thought? How can you say that it is only narrow-mindedness that emerges from them when you are so narrow-minded about them?

When on social media: Why are people so ignorant and incurious?

When reading Schopenhauer: It’s a rather grim view of life to say that if our purpose is not suffering then we are ill-adapted to it. There is more to life than conflict and suffering.

When reading the news: What a depressing species we are.
