What if this world is actually one giant prison? When the 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer observed the amount of pain that we experience during our lifetimes, he concluded that it’s not happiness and pleasure we’re after, but a reduction of the ongoing suffering that’s an inherent part of existence.
When we remove the veil of ignorance and behold the harsh reality we live in, we might start to question, as Schopenhauer does, the idea that, I quote, "this world is the successful work of an all-wise, all-good, and, at the same time, all-powerful Being." End quote. For Schopenhauer's view of the world is one of agony - devoid of divine grace - and it has much more in common with a “penal colony” than with the creation of a benevolent deity. Now, seeing the world as a prison sounds like a recipe for personal misery. Why not adopt a more positive, more hopeful perspective? Why look at it with such pessimism?
Well, Schopenhauer’s idea comes with a twist. Within his pessimistic worldview lies an outlook that could be very beneficial to humanity. Based on his essay On the Sufferings of the World, this video explores Schopenhauer’s pessimistic outlook on life and reveals a secret to be gained from it.

@@davemwangi05 It is getting hard to get away. Maybe 20 years ago I heard a radio interview of a man who claimed to be immortal. Claimed. He said that it was getting harder and harder to create new identities. I didn't believe he was immortal. You don't need to be immortal to figure that one out. Although millions manage it in Western countries. So do the unknown number of reverse refugees who leave the West and go live in some non-Western country under a false identity.

Being smart means means holding many contradicting views at once it seems your intelligence is focused on a narrow view, a better argument for you is negativity and struggling makes you smart because it forces you to think for solutions you cant find, but reality is your mind is a lens you dont look at bad things and find a way, you just move your lens to why is the world so meaningful and fun.

Me too. I had felt this since the moment I came on this world. Intuitively. I was shocked with the nature of this world since I was born. But, I know deep down, there's a real world without suffering, that we can't percept with this physical body. Maybe, some of us can, but that feeling disappears quickly. We should evolve in spiritual life. We really need to recall who we are really, spiritual beings before everything else.

The gist of this theory, is essential to the religion of Muhammad who came with Islam 1400 years ago. He Said: "Life is a believer's prison, and a disbeliever's paradise." Thats my view on it, but some people apparently view it as actual freedom, YOLO they say. Jeffrey Epstien comes to mind, just have sex with all the women you want, with no limit, no worry, live in the best mansions, eat the beat food..... But for these people hell is almost inevitable and Allah knows best. Peace brother.

I'm so glad I never had kids. I never brought someone in to the world to suffer. I've had depression (and chronic insomnia) my whole life. Both things have had an enormous impact on my life - school, work, emotionally, physically, socially, etc. I had an abusive childhood, and am still dealing with it in middle-age. I just can't see the point to life. There isn't any meaning, etc. It's just random. I have read self-help books over the years, trying to be more positive. But I just slip back into pessimism. I'm not religious but if I was I would say hell is right here on earth.

I've been to prison. The real deal. Minimum security chill compared to medium amd maximum. It was actually a relief from the outside, the stress of worrying over my case for way more years than I did. Got 3 squares, got to work outdoors in the sun. fresh air, managed to actually eat well considering it's prison, simple life, no hustle bustle stress, got fit, just behave and respect your fellow inmates. We learned collective compassion of our fellow sufferers in there better than we could on the outside. We are all just trying to get done and to a better place whether on the inside or the outside. It's all the same.

I could see that. On the outside it’s nothing but stress all the time to get up early and work yourself to death to get ahead and make something of yourself. There’s a long way to fall and nobody to blame but yourself if it doesn’t pan out. In incarceration there is nothing you can do about it so it’s probably a load off the mind in a way.

In terms of the real deal on the inside, it all depends of the security level. I was in Federal Prison Camp. That's a cake walk compared to medium or max and definitely better than county or state. It's basically 'prison light' but you can easily slide to medium if you fuck up and get a shot (violation) and worse, lose your good time. Bottom line is that you don't get too involved with anyone and mind your own business.

For people the problem is a law of diminishing returns - aging is inevitable the older you get and there's less and less to look forward to because that's how the physics of our world just are (or are designed). Plus, you can die from illness or a broken heart etc, but you can't gain anything from something positive. Like you can't gain an extra life or a decade for something good happening but you can loose your life when something bad happens. Our world and universe has entropy and decay. Everything is always sliding in that direction automatically. So to make anything happen, create, maintain, save is all a battle. It's intriguing that the universe is this way, surely it could have been in any number of configurations? (potentially worse, even). Good video

He was one of the very first Europeans to study Eastern thought and referred to the Upanishads as the consolation of his life. No matter how unflinchingly pessimistic life was,he stuck it out,because it was "all so fascinating!"

The work is called Archaix, the work the Chronicon, books such as Awaken the Immortal Within. Go have a look. A chronological fine tooth comb assessment of the patterns of events going back to 5,000 BC. Really helps to see what the "prison" looks like, acts like, how it works.

@@hoodieap2858 The body is a disposable vehicle to navigate this existence. Life is an experience, a window of opportunity to participate in a group setting with limited sensual perception and learn from it. Some of us are here to learn specific lessons, others are here just for the experience, usually called NPC's (non-participating characters). The conscious mind does not die, it is energy therefore cannot be created nor destroyed, just converted from one form (body) to another. If you feel that your existence is a version of the movie 'Groundhog Day', maybe it is and you have been coming here repeatedly to learn a lesson you are unwilling to learn. Introspection is the key out of this dilemma. There are always clues to what you need to learn to move on. Have the courage to look for those clues, usually some continually recurring PIA situation, and embrace it for the experience itself. There is no *exalting meaning of life* other than learning from the experience. Think about it...Life itself is a terminal condition, meaning it has a beginning and an end. It is designed that way purposefully because the lessons to be learned can be done so in a short period of time, *IF* you choose to do so. You are young, only 17 and you have the chance to learn this epiphany at the beginning of your journey, whereas I have learned it near the end of mine. There is no right or wrong in learning it, no woulda, coulda, shoulda; no time limits...just a dedication to learn those lessons no matter how many lives (experiences) it takes to do so.

Neil De Grass Tyson, said: "the purpose of life is to give it a purpose". Schopenhauer said to "show compassion to others". So one way we can give it purpose is by showing compassion to others, helping others cope with the shortcomings that life gives us. No matter who you are, we all suffer in one way or another many of the same tragedies. Another train of though is that this is a school where we learn by being exposed to everything that we see in order to be better beings wherever we come from and eventually return. So being compassionate to others seems like a logical thing to do in order to graduate from this school/ penitentiary of life.

Schopenhauer saw things like they are and noticed that our evolutionary substructure would be better off pushed towards compassion and entertainment rather than fear. He was not pessimist. He was an optimist who wanted to put humans on the path of compassion when he knew we had a proclivity towards heartlessness.

Perhaps we were very bad ppl in our previous existence and have been casted out of a much higher amazing and powerful realm. I've always strongly felt there's much more then this, what we are living. It's my opinion that our technology is not impressive, not at the least for me anyway. But yea I for one hate this existence...

@dogsarespecial42 I've thought the same. I have many thoughts / theories. One thing that really peeves me is the 5k to 12k year time line on ancient megalithic structures. I can't stand it. It's my opinion that there's been MANY technologically advanced civilizations on this earth before us. Yet Humanity just can't admit to theirselves that we're not the 1st, and also NOT the most advanced. The designs in which many of the stones are cut are done with Laser precision and some are cut at angles in which scientists can't figure out how it was done. Esp if primitive tools were used. The carvings in Egypt in the pyramids and top to bottom on obelisks appear to be done using stencils they're soo perfect and also Identical . We do this today with our technologically advanced equipment so please, how in the hell was this done using copper chisels and stones as hammers lmao!! I think NOT... The Ego is a terrible thing, also a major problem on this earth! Soo many ppl just can't admit things to themselves esp even when the truth is seemingly right in front of them! All I hear is where's the proof blah blah blah, but honestly, all you have to do is open your damn eyes and be honest with yourself! Another thing I find very strange, if we're all from this earth originally then why is it that between states, and continents we differ in huge ways, looks, skin colors, body types, and also speech accents. Language I can kinda understand . But accents, and looks are a big one. What I mean is when I see someone that's Russian or Ukraine. They have a certain look to them, kinda as Asian ppl do but to me it's very different.

@dogsarespecial42 I've never done the Ancestry Research. I feel like although interesting none of it truly matters because what truly matters is where our Souls come from, and there's no DNA testing a Soul! Infact Scientists cannot even explain the Soul or where it is.. Basically it's our consciousness, but soo much more! It's my ridiculously strong belief that my souls origin comes from someplace far away from here or even perhaps another Dimension! Here's the thing... I see this world very differently then most do, I also have never fit in Basically anywhere, friends for me have ALWAYS been very temporary and ppl end up not really liking me after some time passes.. It's not that I'm a bad person because I know I am not. I'm a very good person, respectful, Loyal, Loving, etc. But I believe what the problem is, it's my very Ora that ppl cannot handle. For example, if I'm around nothing but ppl with Dark Souls if they even have one can only handle my presence for soo long until the can no longer since I am a being of Light. I don't wish to sit here and talk about myself or seem as if I am boasting because I assure you I am not! But I'll introduce myself a bit to you, I've spent much time over the last few yrs getting to identify who I am, and understand myself better since all my life I had always felt lost, out of place, confused etc. I am an Introvert so I am uncomfortable in masses of ppl, I prefer being alone whenever possible, I took the Myers Briggs Personality test and made alot of sense to myself! I happen to have the Rarest Personality Type in the world. Roughly only 2% of the world's population has my Personality. It's called INFJ. I have a sister who is a few yrs younger then me and we are very alike, also look very alike, as it turned out she too is INFJ and she and I are both Virgos . I am what's called a Sigma Male, very unlike an Alpha Male. Based on much research I've done I believe I am a StarSeed from someplace else whom is Chosen by God, we are sent here to help others to try changing this world being it is a very Evil Place. But the Evil knows who we are well before we know ourselves so we end up living extremely difficult and painful lives, our lives are very manipulated by the Darkness so that we are kept held back, suppressed, kept from moving fwd and being able to carry out our given tasks inside Humanity. I've never agreed with this Society based on rules, Having to Grind our lives away for money to survive. It's all really just a control based reality and honestly a very sneaky hush hush form of slavery, we ALL are. Think about those in control or above us... Well how did they come to be in the first place?!. Why do ppl need leaders? Why not be our own leaders. I feel I could direct this world much better then any so called President ever has! And then there are the "Royal Families" they claim their Bloodlines are Special!! So what makes it Special?? And why is it soo very important for them to preserve their lineage?? Are they really even from this earth?? I mean seriously... They are very strange ppl and seemingly out of place!

The funny thing is much of what I've always said or felt ends up being said on the show. I believe pretty much everything they say to be Science Fact! I've been Seeing certain things and having certain experiences since I was a kid. Now being 47. But this past few yrs have absolutely been the most interesting for me. Like all the truth in this world has been poured out of a bottle. The war between Good & Evil is very real and at its all time high in our day. I've been personally attacked by the Evil many times. I've actually looked ppl directly into their eyes and could see it was something else looking back at me. Like the Devil attacking one of his Siblings being he Hates them and soo Jealous of them. It's because we have God inside of us. Earth Angel's, yet we are manipulated and made out to be toxic, bad ourselves. Soo much more I can say but it'll go on for days. Take care

I feel like the modern age is a prison life, where we MUST work to pay bills or become homeless and live on the streets, we are shackled by money that pays for food and shelter which means we cannot go with work long before our savings run dry. We are forced to live out a life of work, most of us do jobs we despise just to get by and it is our burden until retirement. We are already in a 60-70 year prison sentence the moment we are born as we have to go to school, then work until we are too old and grey to handle it, at that point our youth is wasted.

New Order... We are not forced into this lifestyle. Granted, we are programmed by society to live that way and feel we "MUST" follow our programming, but it isnt our only option. Many, many people opt to deprogram themselves and 'live off the grid' to one extent or another. In fact the kids born after the year 2000 have opted out of the program. I always hear employers say the younger people today are lazy and dont want to work. The generation before them didnt buy into the 'American Dream' either and decided to *NOT* buy the big house, have the 2.3 kids and expensive cars that the marketers tell them they have to buy. Instead they are living in very small inexpensive apartments, working decent paying jobs with 'normal' hours and spending their money on vacations and travel. Even though you dont think it is, it is still a choice. Some of us get it young and others dont get it until later in life...if at all.

I have asked her about it several times and if she remembers it but she doesn't remember it and just shrugs and says IDK. She is 11 now. Another really weird thing she did when she was pretty young is ask her dad to turn off a documentary he was watching about China (because it was making her sad to remember her other family from when she was an old man in China before she came to us) She was probably 5 when that happened. She also claims that she remembers an old woman coming into her room when she was little and rocking her in the rocking chair and playing with her in the middle of the night. She claims it was my mom who she has only seen in pictures because my mom died about 10 years before she was born. She still remembers that well and is still convinced it was "that lady in the picture on the wall." Kids are super weird. My only regret is not questioning her more about these things when she was little but at the time I didn't want to put things in her head so I never really tried to question the things she said we just noted them. I have personally come to the conclusion that we are born with memories and possibly a more profound understanding of the world but lose it as we grow up and start really talking. Kids are wild.

I also had the idea, when I was a kid, that my "world" is nothing but a cage in a lab, and everything in it props to see how I would respond. "God" being a researcher in the lab.

Life is what you make it.. Either you live your short life in misery and everything sucks blah blah blah or make the best out of it, even if we are somewhat of a slave from the elite which I definitely think we are. But regardless this life is super short so make the best out of this hell on earth. what else can you do? You can choose to live in self pity or choose to live happy and with fullness and love. The decision is yours!! Make the best out of it!
