The World as Will and Representation
Have you ever confronted the blind, restless yearning within that constantly drives you forward?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first opened this book, I was overwhelmed by the author's cold, unflinching gaze upon the suffering of life. Schopenhauer perceives that all the torment we endure springs from a blind "Will." Yet the book does not rest in mere pessimism. Rather, by thoroughly dissecting the source of suffering, it offers a path of artistic liberation and ascetic renunciation by which we may escape its yoke. If you are worn out by desires that can never be filled, the cold comfort this book extends will reach you as a deep and resonant consolation.
"All willing arises from want, therefore from deficiency, and therefore from suffering."Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation
"모든 욕망은 결핍에서, 즉 고통에서 태어난다. 욕망이 충족되면 고통도 끝난다."

Take time today to look quietly at what you longed for, and ask whether it was a true, deep need of yours, or merely the product of a blind desire that can never be filled.
