-Arthur Schopenhauer (1788- 1860), German philosopher.

Well, I admit that people have emotional cycles, just like a girl's menstrual period, there will be a low tide every month, especially when she encounters some trivial troubles in life, and the pessimism generated during this low tide will be more frequent. I don't think anyone is suitable for Mr. Melancholy at this time, and Schopenhauer deserves more guidance. The reason why I suddenly want to write such an article, yes, my mood has been rotten to the bottom these two days, so that there is nothing around me to comfort me. I feel numb and can only wait for time to heal me slowly.

For two whole days, I wondered why I suddenly became "pessimistic", because nothing unexpected happened around me, which was incredible. Then, how to get out of pessimism, I humbly asked Mr. Melancholy, and he told me bluntly: "If you don't want to be too painful, the safest way is not to expect happiness." This reminds me of my exams at school. If you want to get the ideal exam results, you'd better not expect too much. Schopenhauer's "lowering our expectations is the only way to get rid of depression". I agree with Mr. Melancholy on this point, but this does not prevent me from giving him a big black eye, because these views are really useless and just empty talk.

Epicurus defined happiness and happiness as the absence of fear and pain, but as a cautious hedonist, why did Epicurus not "enjoy the present" well, but intervened in the pessimistic field? Oh, it turns out that the whole world is pessimistic, and philosophers with super-high ideas are not immune. If we don't solve the pessimistic problem at this time, I think many people will go crazy.

Being immersed in an emotion can make people "fascinated", which is a very dangerous signal and will affect people's views and opinions on everything around them. I think most philosophers influence groups of people because they are their own believers, and they believe that their thoughts are a lamp in this hypocritical and vulgar world, so they are crazy and inexplicable. Of course, they themselves have been pushed to the altar by this world, and they already think that they are beyond the scope of this world. If an ordinary person despises the world just because he is crazy about his own thoughts, I think he is crazy. So we need an opposing emotion to neutralize the present emotion.

When the flowers should be folded, we should fold them quickly, and don't wait for the flowers to wither before folding one. This poem is from Du Qiuniang's Clothes by the Water, which can effectively neutralize pessimism. I think Epicurus was shocked by this sentence when he was alive. His life research can be simply summarized in these fourteen words. Of course, this is a stubborn joke. Epicurus was indeed a hedonist, but he was a hedonist who cared about the consequences. For example, if I see a beautiful flower, I want to pick one, but if I pick it, will I get the pleasure I want? If I feel guilty for making a thing's life incomplete, I still don't pick it, just wait and see from a distance.

Man is really a perceptual animal without rules. They tend to think about one thing in a complicated way, magnify the difficulties and spoil pessimism into baby emotions. For example, if I'm not happy now, I'll play games for dinner, and I'll make trouble without reason, because I'm depressed now, so you have to spoil me. I think a lot of people do this, which is simply unreasonable.

In my slow life, I have experienced countless pessimism, sometimes once a week, without warning or reason. I gradually found that pessimism is just an external feeling. It wraps around you carefully, making you slow and stupid, but it is not difficult to control. My usual reaction is: hey, I'm in a bad mood, you fool me. When your mood is only pessimistic, you are dangerous. When the second emotion comes in, things become simple.

The greatest philosophy in the world is man's instinctive reaction. Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are sleepy. If, for special reasons, your instinctive reaction is contrary to your actual behavior, then the result will depend on third-party factors and interests. For example, after work, the boss tells you to work overtime temporarily, but you are in a dilemma because you have an appointment with a friend to watch a movie at night. What should I do? This is a simple question. Postpone the appointment and work overtime, because your first reaction is "it's over, the appointment will be ruined." If you have already made a decision, why fight with yourself? If this happens again next time, your first reaction is "overtime? No, I can't break my word. " I don't think it's important to work overtime at this time, so let it go.

Following your heart is the greatest philosophy in life, and you need to work hard for it all your life. As for the pendulum, does it matter?

Ps: We should learn to be alone with ourselves, and also learn to be alone with an emotion, such as happiness, melancholy, loneliness and so on. When you are pessimistic, you should think that it is only a little closer to you. As long as you take one small step, you will throw it away. Of course, if you are carried away by excitement and don't know the direction, you are likely to be lonely.
