Schopenhauer said: "The stronger the desire, the greedier the person who wants to satisfy my desire, and the more and deeper the pain he feels. Because desire is always attached to him, constantly gnawing at him, making his mind full of distress. After such a long habit, once all the objects of desire have disappeared, he almost enjoys watching others suffer. On the other hand, a person who denies Chen Ding's will to survive is indeed a poor man with nothing, neither joy nor life, but his mind is clear and full of peace and joy. They will not be driven by restless life impulses or happy things, because these are the precursors of intense pain. They do not covet the happiness of life, because happiness is often accompanied by distress. "

In Schopenhauer's view, to deny the will to life, we must embark on the road of abstinence. The first step on the road to abstinence is to be completely indifferent to women, because abstinence transcends the individual's will to life, which indicates that the will will end with life. Abstinence is also manifested in voluntary poverty. In this case, people suppress their will, repent of their life, fast and hunger, fail to satisfy their desires, and never suffer humiliation and pain with infinite patience and kimono. Therefore, death, as a long-awaited liberation, is extremely popular and readily accepted.

However, Schopenhauer's philosophy is totally incompatible with his life. He advised people to be selfless and do good deeds, but he threw his female neighbor downstairs because she was talking to someone outside his door. He suggested that people distribute wealth to help the world, but he hid money in old letters and gold under ink bottles. He said to be detached, you must abstain from prostitution. But he had many erotic but not serious sex stories. He wants people to live in poverty and control their diet, but he often eats and drinks in high-end restaurants.

Of course, in any case, the importance of Schopenhauer's philosophy is beyond doubt.
