I must say that your way of reading an excerpt and the discussing it, is really interesting. So interesting in fact that I am thinking of buying this book
Since I have found your work, I have found wisdom, professionalism, and truth from Father Arthur Schopenhauer using your skills and knowledge. Your work will be as good as that of Robert Grave "I Claudius".
“Dog who barks doesn't bite”. Don’t quite fully agree with him here tho, anger can be expressed as a warning signal to the other in a deliberate way, it’s not necessary just a dramatic venting or lack of self control.
After a few months of listening to these videos, this section (45) strikes me as peculiar. For, here is a philosopher, i.e. lover of wisdom, giving an advice of how to commit a folly. The folly, as the previous section explicitly tells us, is acting out of anger, hatred or both. Additionally peculiar is that he does it just several years after the first publication of The Count of Monte Cristo, a novel about revenge and its futility which immediately achieved a massive popularity in France & Britain... To all that, one might say that Schopenhauer writes with rather cynical realism, and that he's wise to do so. My response to that is that if we should be realistic about people being unable to free themselves from hatred, we might as well tell them to follow their hatred to its natural conclusion: to see the other as inhuman: as a mere 'thing'! And once they do so, they might as well treat it coldly, analytically, clinically, so that the only questions that remain would be "What is this thing's true nature? And what is consequently the right way to conduct myself toward it?"
Anger and hatred are poisons that separate us from God. Only God can provide us with guidance to checkmate who ought to be checkmated. Let God decide who gets toasted or not toasted.

Tantrum too tantamount.
