Schopenhauer: The Philosopher Who Knew Life’s Pain The amount of suffering in the world is vast, so observed Schopenhauer. Life is a constant striving, a relentless pursuit of desires and needs that keep appearing. So it’s no surprise that people label this philosopher ‘pessimistic’ and ‘dark.’ But his observations aren’t unfounded.Video: Schopenhauer: The Philosopher Who Knew Life’s PainSupport the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy | The Philosophy of Cobra Kai It’s not just to reignite his old passion for karate and to avenge his old nemesis Daniel LaRusso. One of the reasons why Johnny Lawrence reopens his old dojo Cobra Kai is that he believes that by doing so he can give today’s youth exactly what they need: the way of the fist.After saving his teenage neighbor Miguel from a group of bullies, Johnny realizes how soft many of today’s children actually are. This image is confirmed to him when a group of social rejects arrives at his dojo, who are desperate to toughen up, so they can awake “the snake within” and strike back at those who’ve humiliated them. Luckily, Johnny provides the recipe that does the job: the offensive, nononsense karate that he was taught as a kid, based on a simple philosophy: strike first, strike hard, no mercy.Cobra Kai represents the active, aggressive part of existence. And for many people, its philosophy is appealing, because it’s about pushing boundaries, crushing fears, and focusing on achievement and conquest; things that far exceed the dojo. As Johnny Lawrence states: “Cobra Kai isn’t just about karate. It’s about a way of life.” So, aside from physical fights, how can such a philosophy benefit our very lives? And what are the downsides and dangers of “the way of the fist?” This video explores the philosophy of Cobra Kai, and why we need balance in our lives.Support the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

He saw the world differently. As opposed to many of his contemporaries, he manages to break through conventions, let go of fixed views, and look beyond the human scope and understanding of right and wrong.

How to Reduce the Pain of Life | Arthur Schopenhauer The nineteenthcentury German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer observed that nature is driven by an allencompassing force, which he called Will, or more specifically, the WillToLive. This force is unconscious, aimless, and blind, and gives rise to an insatiable striving within human beings. We live our lives grasping, craving, and attaching ourselves to external things, and we feed on other living organisms to perpetuate our own existence, all of which is a manifestation of Will.Thus, the will lies at the root of suffering, as our neverending hunger (and our inability to satiate it) results in an ongoing pursuit of pleasure that never, ever satisfies in the long run. To cope with the misery of life, Schopenhauer took the effort to construct a philosophy to help us attain a state of happiness, which may seem a bit strange as he’s such a pessimistic thinker. But similar to a philosopher and spiritual teacher that lived about 2,500 years ago named the Buddha, Schopenhauer rigorously examined and endured the illnesses of existence before he came up with a cure.After his death, Schopenhauer left us with an unfinished manuscript titled “Die Kunst, glücklich zu sein,” which can be translated as “The art of being happy”, and contains fifty rules for life. This video is based on the fifty rules by Arthur Schopenhauer, and explores how we can reduce the pain of life.Support the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Let It Go, Ride the Wind | The Taoist Philosophy of Lieh Tzu Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The Lieh Tzu contains many stories with philosophical themes like the nature of reality, the purpose of life, and the workings of the mind. One theme that runs like a thread through this ancient scripture is the tendency of human beings to stand in their own way and thereby sabotaging a spontaneous, effortless mode of living.Dominated by a mind burning with desire, anxiously trying to control the uncontrollable, we’ve become unwilling and unable to let the universe run its natural course, as we have exchanged spontaneity for fear. And the more we fight the universe, the more painful our lives become, as things inevitably change in directions we don’t like.But how can we reembark the natural flow of life? What if we dare to let go of our attachments and desires, our fears and inhibitions, and become as light as a feather, like Lieh Tzu? This video explores the Taoist philosophy of Lieh Tzu on how to let go and ride the wind.Support the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

When Life Falls Apart, Does it Actually Fall Into Place? | A Buddhist Story When we’re hanging onto a root that’s chewed away by mice with a hungry snake below and an even hungrier tiger above us, what can we possibly do to get out of this situation? What is the best course of action when there seems to be no way out? When life falls apart, we might want to remember that everything changes all the time. Like night turns into day, bad fortune turns into good fortune, and a curse turns into a blessing. So, could it be that, eventually, life doesn’t fall apart but...

How To Maximize Misery | The 4 Stoic Sins Virtue is the path to a happy life.One can characterize Stoic virtue by its instrumental as well as noninstrumental value, meaning that Stoics don’t act for personal gain, but rather to benefit the whole, even if this includes the rejection of pleasure and the endurance of pain. However, at the same time, this way of life leads to eudaimonia, and thus, living virtuously is rewarding for oneself as a byproduct.But what if we don’t live virtuously and what misery comes from that? In Stoic ethics, we find the opposite of virtue, which is vice. Vice can be subdivided into four elements. Obviously, following these elements will lead us astray.This video explores these 4 ‘Stoic sins’ and possible consequences.Support the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Nihilism: Embracing the Void of Existence Why are we here? What are we supposed to do? What’s the goal? What’s the meaning of all this? Without Christianity to guide us, the West now faces a void – a nothingness. If there’s no God to guide us, no Afterlife to suffer for, and no divine purpose, then what’s the point of living?Even though Nietzsche was highly critical of Christianity (seeing it as a “lifedenying” force), he acknowledged the danger of its decline: nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that nothing matters: the belief in nothing. This video explores nihilism and possible solutions by Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus.Video: Nihilism: Embracing the Void of ExistenceSupport the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Stop Wanting, Start Accepting | The Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius Stoicism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/innerpeaceAlthough he never considered himself a philosopher, Marcus Aurelius’ writings have become one of the most significant ancient Stoic scriptures. His ‘Meditations’ contain a series of notes to himself based on Stoic ideas, one of which is embracing fate and living conformably to the demands of nature.Instead of wanting things to happen as we wish, we’re better off accepting the universe, according to Marcus Aurelius, and developing a flexible attitude towards the outside world while being strict with ourselves (Stop Wanting, Start Accepting | The Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius)Support the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

How to Overcome Yourself | Nietzsche’s Superman Nietzsche’s concept of the Superman (or Übermensch) is one of his most famous and controversial ideas, as it goes vastly against normative perceptions of what’s good and evil. Nevertheless, the Superman is an ideal human being that Nietzsche believed we should all strive to become. This video explores Nietzsche’s philosophy and the concept of the Superman, and how to overcome yourself in light of it.Video: How to Overcome Yourself | Nietzsche’s Cure for Nihilism: The SupermanSupport the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Letting Someone Go | Taoism for Broken Hearts Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The philosophy of Taoism revolves around letting go, accepting, yielding, and going with the flow. All Taoist sages seem to agree that it’s better to be detached and indifferent, allow change to happen, and move along with life’s constant transformations than to resist change and cling to what’s already in the past.When we are romantically involved with someone, we often see the opposite happening of what the Taoists teach. We attach, we cling, we control, and we’re usually very fearful of being abandoned by the person who generates immense bliss within ourselves. At the peak of the socalled honeymoon phase,’ when everything seems carefree, joyful, and happy, we wish it would never end. But as we all know: this period of mutual infatuation never lasts.No feeling is final. The changing nature of our emotional world causes us to fall out of love, sometimes as quickly as we fall in love. When feelings change, the relationship changes. Frequently, the consequence of declined feelings of attraction, for whatever reason, is a breakup.Such a drastic change is challenging to handle, especially when the decline in attraction isn’t mutual.For some, it takes years (or even a lifetime) to get over someone. Others never truly accept the breakup and move Heaven and Earth to win back their old flame, to no avail.When we cannot change outside circumstances, the only way to move forward is to change ourselves, including how we look at the situation at hand. The Taoist ideas in this video could help us see the breakup (and heartbreak in general) in another light.Letting Someone Go | Taoism for Broken HeartsSupport the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?
