It is difficult to find happiness within oneself but it is impossible to find it anywhere else ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

[@kentchi1496]

Dastardly😂

[@Menoff7-d8s]

Man, You have given me what you mean by Realism. Arthur was teacher to Neitszche and his 'The World as Will and Representation' is what you are saying he was: he saw through so many subjects but he was at his best when he tackled human nature. How can I conceal it Robert, but I love you for introducing me again to this Man. He wasn't happy, yes, but that was not their goal, not like a hippy goal. The world is not as happy as it seems and Schopenhauer was right. I have read those who are clinically depressed are unbelievably much more realist about the world than most of us 'Normal', it is called depressive realism but since Arthur was characterized as 'Pessimist', I think we optimists can learn much more from him than any other philosopher. Modern world has no one such philosopher as original.

[@Andrew-xv5tf]

Well said Mr Greene. Always appreciative of the words you share

[@machyavelli4890]

So cool that my favorite contemporary author refers back to one of my all-time favorite books, The Wisdom of Life. I've been reading Schopenhauer for years now and he is such a great writer. Recommend that y'all listen to the Audible version of Counsels and Maxims/The Wisdom of Life. The narrator does an exceptional job of sounding as if Schopenhauer would, albeit with a British accent - stern but jovial, insightful yet curious, and 100% realist all the way through. Thanks Robert. P.S. You're right, World as Will and Representation is tough to finish lol...

[@scarlet7658]

Mr. Greene, I am so glad you introduced me to this philosopher and for your work as a whole. I found his work on woman fascinating. I have been asking all my life why I don’t understand women even though I am one, to only find out they don’t want loyalty and think of my words as a dissimulation. I’ve even tested it and found out than when I am speaking the truth it’s always accepted as if I am pretending. As I read my lines I know I sound like a teenage girl, but as someone who was always in men dominated environments and raised with the absence of my mother I thought women are so different and always dreamed of a woman friend. Now at least I know part of the truth that lies behind the female nature and feel at peace no longer asking myself what I am doing wrong. Thank you for your hard work 🙏 ❤

[@Cody-n7b]

im grateful that you take the time to share your knowledge on KZbin. I understand your books better when I can watch you speak on the topics you have written about.

[@MikhailKrilov]

Great to see Schopenhauer's name on your channel! Great work. Thanks!

The father of economics Adam Smith said that people are driven by self interest and in doing so they help each other. Self interest is good

[@jonathanisernhagen6515]

Up to a point, and with transparency and accountability.

[@Gozie-z2x]

Very insightful! Thanks

[@vivianMarvin-z6k]

Fantastic video My five-year relationship ended a month ago. The decision to part ways with the love of my life is something that truly consumes me. Though it's all in vain, I've tried everything to get him back, and I can't fathom my life with anyone else. Even though I've made every effort to quit thinking about him, I can't help but miss him and can't stop thinking about him. Why I am stating this here is beyond me.

[@Adakataba]

It's hard to say goodbye to someone you love; I experienced this when my 12-year relationship ended. However, I couldn't just let him go; instead, I tried everything to win him back. Eventually, I turned to a spiritual counsellor for assistance, and he was able to help me win him back.

[@vivianMarvin-z6k]

Interesting! How did you locate a spiritual counsellor, and how can I get in touch with him most effectively?

[@Adakataba]

His name is Father Obah Eze, and he is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.

[@Adakataba]

he is father obah eze, he has great powers, he can help you.

[@vivianMarvin-z6k]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked him up now online. impressive Wow I just looked Father Obah Eze on the net he’s very legit thanks once again ❤

[@OokwaYikmagwa]

Schopenhauer’s work is treasure!

[@denisef7414]

You are my hero. I love your books and even more, I love to hear you talking.

[@Celeandoer]

Born in 94. I had a chance to see Lawrence of Arabia in theaters. Heard Lawrence quote Schopenhauer. I appreciated that. I thought I was crazy for entertaining and appreciating certain thoughts of Schopenhauer It’s not everyday you’ll hear schoepenhauer unless you go looking for him☺️. Also Schopenhauer’s portrait appears in the recent Pinocchio movie. His portrait sits on Jimminy crickets mantle. I thought that was hilarious to see in a kids movie. Even tho it was directed and written by the Pans Labyrinth Guillermo Del Toro>>

[@GrantMcLeod-u2r]

All of my life I struggled with this concept. I believed people were honest, basically good, Christian, moral and decent. That is the different masks they present to the world to deceive others and themselves. I live my simple life, and realize that in the end everyone dies and that is the only certainty in life. Life is all change and everyone finally passes ~ People are basically hypocrites so try to avoid the nasty ones. And there are plenty.

[@WhiteMouse77]

If You are skeptically realistic towards people they don't dare manipulate you and despotic ones begin fearing you for threat of spoken truth which makes clash of authorities started...

[@trixe1386]

Robert, please make a video about Lao tzu and Taoism ☯️ thanks 😊

[@gwnbw]

I have that clarity aswell, trust me you dont want that type of clarity when you start observing everything, it will rip the joy straight out of social interaction, I cant enjoy social interaction anymore. I'll check out his book.

[@Jack-vh5km]

Totally agreed. Whole my life I want to gain knowledge, with it comes clarity, with clarity everything false appart, especially social circle😂. Choose carefully

[@arkoprabhamisra8417]

Sir when can we expect your new book , the law of the sublime?

[@candydale8380]

I agree most humans are dastardly.....it's very sad and sobering

[@jonathanisernhagen6515]

Most humans are what they're trained to be. 10% are good, 10% are evil and 80% look around and see what's accepted.

[@lauryville]

introverted intuition paired with extroverted feeling for arthur, he admires the ni deep perception and se realism in them all

[@Luke-z2l]

Angels are few, rare among the many dastardly

[@MissMisery-y8u]

Why don’t these people ever go away?

[@lucky8rodriguez878]

You should do it Robert

[@RustinCohlemind]

There's a dichotomy between what you explain two of your books and the message of Schopenhauer. You try to convince people to be part of the group but being alert of people's manipulation, so they can outsmart them. Arthur Schopenhauer tried to convince people about staying away from human beings, keep them at distance

[@BUSYMINDEDOFFICIAL]

Sir make a video about Shakespeare

[@TMIvey-gk4mw]

Thank you for sharing this philosopher with us! I’ll keep an eye out for his book!

[@Dino_Medici]

When’s the sublime book drop

[@Hassan_Rajput_PAS]

he is like a Machiavelli because he believes that people masks, their true intentions, and they are very engaged in role playing. The social word is cruel and ruthless. You have to be very rude calculated and cunning so don’t be naïve and nice. Have a sword in your hand and go like a warrior in the social world

[@etherean369]

Knowing that humans can be 'dastardly' allows you to find the ones trying their best to at least be fair. You'll enjoy socializing more & avoid being the target of dark people. It's fake morality to 'choose' to see the only the good...or to cling only to 'goodness' when a little madness will bring justice. Thanks so much for teaching this to the masses!

[@odysseynoone3831]

Robert it would be amazing if you did your version of a psychological analysis of Trump like Jordan peterson did. Would like to see the unique, deep, realistic and honest view you'd bring.

[@MannyLifts505]

So good , reading laws of power first time

[@Nahash5150]

I think it's interesting that deep cynical and skeptical thinking is always lauded as being 'rational' and 'realist' instead of just being a subjective anti-thesis of optimism and positivity. So the darker and more pessimistic you get the more intellectual and realistic you are? non-sequitur. It's a lot like saying the more depressed you get, and the more you justify it, the more rational you are. Seriously flawed outlook.

[@aditya.anurag.]

Arthur Schopenhauer was also praised "Upanishads" contains Vedic Indian Philosophy(which never became popular all over the world like western philosophies). He wrote that "In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads". He praised the wisdom of Indian minds and the philosophies of the Vedas and the Upanishads in his main work, The World as Will and Representation (1819), as well as in his Parerga and Paralipomena (1851). I hope Robert Greene you will discover it in your life journey.

How to contend carefully with the constant, mysterious threat of intense pain?

[@MoeSyzlack1]

You’re wrong there is no fixed nature. Any “realism” is a desperate plea from the ego for a fixed reality. I recommend the treasury of knowledge buddhist book series .

[@Tunderb]

Realism is entertaining when it's interpreted by Schopenhauer.😊
