Arthur Schopenhauer was one of the greatest philosophers of all time. He lived from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century in Germany. His most important work was “The World As Will and Representation”. He was one of the most prominent figures of the philosophy of pessimism and the first great Western philosopher who was interested in Buddhism. The best way to understand his teachings is to analyze them through the eyes of the enlightened pessimism prevalent in Buddhist philosophy. Arthur Schopenhauer is known as the ultimate pessimist because he articulates a pessimistic worldview that questions life’s meaning. He believed that the universe was fundamentally irrational and human beings are driven by a force called the Will, a basic force in the Universe, never satisfied, and we, the human beings, don’t have much self-control to fight it. Schopenhauer argues that the best way to be happy is by ceasing to look for happiness and instead try to remove the unhappiness from our life. This idea reflects philosophical pessimism, which is not a psychological disposition, but rather a worldview. Philosophical pessimism suggests that it is always better to expect the worst in order to receive the best. By using the principles of philosophical pessimism, we can eliminate the irrational hopes and expectations we have in life and thus we can live more peacefully and happily.

It was Schopenhauer in 1982 that saved my sanity when I was going through a painful breakup with my girlfriend, as I discovered she was cuckolding me with another friend.
I read “Women, Love and Death” a condensation of his essays, it was through these words I mustered the valor to completely break free.
I was 23 at the time, young and dumb…life lessons were learned.
Arthur Schopenhauer started me In a long quest for knowledge and enlightenment, his legacy ensures his immortality…Cheers 🍻 to Arthur…Salud!
🎉
That's the beauty of philosophy & practise of gratitude in our meditation ,prayer or self-introspections daily.
@@leandrobaluyotjr5181 Precisely 🙏🏼 Merci beaucoup.
I think the best way to avoid boredom is to appreciate the beauty of everyday life. This way you can find joy in small moments and appreciate life more ♥
It's also beneficial to see the good in boredom. Boredom doesn't necessarily mean despair. When I get bored I want to revolt against that negative emotion and when I do, I feel worse. If I feel bored and embrace it, I actually feel a tranquility take over and after 30 minutes the emotion suddenly dies away and I feel good.
Of course this is all personal experience so it won't be true for everyone.
To me boredom just means, find something (else) to do that I don't find boring.
But I pity people who must do boring repetitive work and cannot escape the boredom.
Every stupid video about boredom regurgitates what you said. You should check out those. This is one of the few YT videos on boredom that doesn't celebrate it.
Found this video today by accident. So timely. I'm retiring in 6 months and although I know it's the right decision today I was worrying about getting bored. This was the universe saying don't worry
I love Schopenhauer’s works. Thank you for this excellent video. Well done
One of the best videos on this channel. Just when I was starting to get bored with life.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes...always easier said then done.
"The World as Will and Idea" appeared in 1818. Schopenhauer. Philosophy, history, music, art, and literature, science, theology, books .Nature is cosmic consciousness.
Thank you for this video.
Being bored can unjustly led to more boredom! Filling that space with some sort of pleasure may help. Stay focused on the present moment Learn something new take up a hobby and find resources! Ex….when taking a walk and suddenly you feel bored start looking at nature and other sights! I found that to be hilarious! Not the looking at nature part the idea of getting bored on a walk! Use your resources to find the hobby you would enjoy and go from there!
@@sheilameyers152 worst that people don't even read , watch TV , nothing ....
@@Moodboard39 …..I have a fixation with Tv watching… I need to cut back because it causes boredom! :)
"Boredom is the lack of self resources" Stannis Baratheon 🤣💪
Too deep understanding of got... My brother
. I really like your coment and sense of humor
Stannis Baratheon AKA George RR Martin
Boredom is but a name for a state of mind in which one fails to be present to anything but thought. Which means thought is boring. Experience is fun. Thought can make experiences less fun. But less thought makes experiences more fun.
Heidegger: boredom is when you are aware of passing of time!
@@shahlabadel8628 Agreed! 👏
I find thought exciting. Even your radically different view from mine was a thrill.
I never realized the genius of Shopenhauer until I watched this video. I've heard very few people talk about the reality of past and future in the way he's described them here. To most people they seem all too real to abandon, and yet it lies in the abandonment of time that we find our way back. Where we are able to live once again through the eyes of a child. Because we're never really growing up, but distant. The only thing that grows is our involvement with abstract thoughts about abstract concepts such as purpose, happiness and identity. All of which are conceptions of language, not experienced realities.
really informative video, thanks for the share.
So true.
Nice video very informative. Do keep up the good work
Well done
Very wise
Great!!
I love your videos
Boredom is the opposite of pain in that it is lack of stimulus, where the latter is overstimulation.
Great video. Sounds a lot like Buddha.
Arthur Schopenhauer greatly admired Siddhartha Gautama and his teachings, interestingly enough Buddhism was the only religion/philosophy that Schopenhauer did not bashed as he was a nonbeliever.
@@AFMMarcelD Thank You.
As soon as I heard the word "desire", I questioned the connection.
I like Shopinghour.
Sounds like an "Expensivehour". 😏
So practical as so simple and straight 👍🙏🌺☸️☮️☪️♉️✝️🛐🕉️✡️☦️♈️⚛️🌺🙏👍
This channel quotes many wonderful philosophies BUT fails to guide their loyal followers on what one must achieve any of it. BEST WISHES
Read, think, then act.
If you need a dictatorship then I can wholeheartedly recommend religion. Catholicism in particular.
I find that no 5
A healthy beggar is more fortunate than an unhealthy king 🤴 very tru.
Which is why being vegan 🌱 was the best way, you feel light and peaceful therefore not bored 😐
I haven't felt boredom since 1997... I can't even emagine feeling bored.
Really?
@@joshgullicksrud3444 yeah... are there other adults that don't get bored? There is SO much to do in the world... how could anyone ever be bored? I understand young people being bored and my advice there is to enjoy it because adulthood doesn't allow for boredom. As my mom used to say, a bored person is a boring person.
SAME!!!
@@ResearchNational of course of course
Sit in a cafe that makes a good espresso in some historic european city and read a book for a few hours. Or drive a trophy vehicle in traffic just for looks.
Guess you're screwed if your present moment is mind numbingly boring like wage work
He just discovered depression! Brilliant German philosopher as only they were at the Time.
“Manageable chunks”
boredom is inspirational otherwise we might just sit around like a slug and rot- very unhealthy
I have seen the wonders of your work #lordsajama and I can't thank you more for changing my life financially with your lottery spell. Thank you 😍💙💙💙
He looks like John Bloor.
Avoid Schopenhauer and avoid boredom 👍

"Before I start, I must see my end.
Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
Upon my chariot, heart and soul’s fate revealed.
In time, all points converge, hope’s strength re-steeled.
But to earn final peace at the universe’s endless refrain,
We must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

Boring person 😂
I was very boring this morning.
Then I stopped drilling.
But I think I’m still a bit boring
What number is humor? Or are puns a negative number😂😂😂😂😂
Funny, the picture of Schopenhauer on the thumbnail (the photo displayed on the video) makes him look like he's suffering from constipation or some such misery, poor guy...!😄
how come we'd get bored on vacation but not bored with trees and the great outdoors?
Yea, but u not going to explore beauty and nature all the time ! U work , school , everyday is the same cycle of life....
Bored people are boring. 😉
Great video and narrator
This is the same advice listed 6 ways. Schopenhauer didn’t live in the modern age, and their advice is idealistic, filled with he believe and it might. You can do everything listed, and still face boredom and it’s dire consequences.

I respect Schopenhauer, but I do not know what bordome would feel like.
Wtf? U saying u never gotten. Bored ? Dude stop lying
Remember that pessimists are usually right but it's the optimists that change the world. Optimists focus on the WHY and tend to be the dreamers like Walt Disney but need the people like Schopenhauer to cultivate the HOW. Walt Disney only made it because of his brother who was skilled in the banking industry and ran the finances which kept Walt out of continual and reckless bankruptcy.
Schopenhauer: "put your damn phone away"
Why ?? He thought music was imortant! You can listen to the very same music he praised on your phone ! Of course he thought you had to learn to play when his writings predate the invention of the very first rrcording devices by decades.
???? Is video game not a hobyy just a distraction? Weird
Well, if reading is a "hobby" these days 😂, then video games definitely are.
I am still too bored to continue watching this video
I'm getting bored watching this.
This video is Boring!!!
7. Don't listen to videos about Schopenhauer.
Life, Friends, is Boring by John Berryman: ua-cam.com/video/GpimsgfNj7c/v-deo.html
I have been BORING, but I cannot recall ever being bored. 🥱
And if you really can't avoid or manage your own boredom, then at least keep it to yourself.
People who announce "I'm bored" are often just revealing themselves as boring or dull people. 🥱
