"People are either vulgar or lonely." This sentence is not Schopenhauer's original words in the book "The Wisdom of Life". The original text is "People either choose to be alone in this world, or they choose to be alone." Choose vulgarity, there is no other choice."

The entire article is as follows:

People can either choose to be alone or to be vulgar in this world. , there is no other choice other than this.

Be alone but not lonely. A person who likes to be alone is not lonely!

People's inner emptiness is the real source of boredom. They are always seeking external stimulation, trying to use something to activate their spirit and emotions. The choices they made were truly indiscriminate, and for evidence of this one need look no further than the meager, monotonous pastimes they clung to, the social conversations of the same nature, and the many door-step stands. and people looking out of windows. It is precisely because of the inner emptiness that they pursue all kinds of social interaction, entertainment and luxury; and these things lead many people into extravagance and desire, and then end in misery.

The only way to save ourselves from this pain is to have a rich inner being, a rich spirit.

Because the more superior and significant a person’s spiritual wealth is, the less room there is for boredom. The thoughts in these people's minds are lively and constantly updating; they play with and explore various phenomena in the inner and outer worlds; and they have the impulse and ability to combine these thoughts in various ways. Occasionally, it puts an excellent mind in a place that boredom cannot reach.
