He's likely my favorite philosopher of all time. Wish he was more famous

People don't like being confronted with the hard truths of life, they only want to hear the good things that make them happy and remain ignorant to reality.

Sadly the more I read and understand the word, the greyer and more pessimistic is my outlook on life. Even nature, usually a paragon of what we should be, has life and death just around the corner.

I have concluded that living is good. But at the same time, to exist is to suffer

I really wanted to get in psychology when I was younger but the more I learned of human nature and how/why people think as they do, the harder it was dealing with people so I gave up on it. Ignorance is bliss.
