Schopenhauer's greatest quote is "The world is steeped in sin: savages devour each other, civilized people deceive each other. This is the so-called way of the world."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are intrigues and full of deception. People live in groups, and when they live in groups, they like to compare, love vanity, and make ugly calculations for their own interests. Some people will even do whatever it takes to harm the interests of others for the sake of their own interests.

Schopenhauer’s famous saying is worthy of reflection, because human beings are really like this. For thousands of years, they have been unable to escape the laws of the forest of animals. The weak eat the strong, bully the weak and fear the strong. The only thing that has changed is that the form has become civilized. It has become a war with no smoke every day. People live on the same street for a long time. People will find that a new store opens on East Street today, and an old store closes on West Street tomorrow.
