His words were sharp and as sharp as a knife. He often goes to restaurants for dinner, which is very suitable for his appetite, and he is also a foodie. Not only does he eat sour, but he also has an amazing appetite. A spectator next to him couldn't help but stand opposite his dining table, staring at the food like a hill in front of him -
He was extremely calm and responded to him:
"Sir, you seem to be surprised by my appetite. Indeed, my appetite is three times that of yours, but my wisdom is three times that of yours!"
The spectator turned his face boredly...
He is also a stingy, cold and ruthless. Before each meal, he always put a gold coin on the table in front of him. The waiter thought that as usual, it was a tip for him after the meal, and he was particularly attentive to him. However, after the meal, he always put it in his pocket again and walked away without raising his head. After several times, the waiter finally couldn't help but feel lost and asked him what he was doing--
"I bet with the officers in my heart every day that as long as they can talk about other topics in addition to horses, dogs, and women one day, I will put this gold coin in the church's alms box." He said.
Yes, then there was no waiter at all!
He seems to be a patient with paranoid disease. When sleeping, he put a loaded pistol under the pillow; when cutting hair, in order to avoid the shave knife, the barber is forbidden from shaving his face. He is afraid that there will be thieves at home, so he takes great pains to hide the money in Tibet, thinking that he will not be able to find it even if he comes. He is very proud of this. In order to prevent others from knowing how much money he has, he actually used foreign languages that ordinary people do not understand, and put fake labels on the expensive decorations in the house. He is very proud of this...
He is also Out of jealousy, in order to shame his opponent, he deliberately gave his class a very attractive name and arranged to teach at the same time; but in the end he failed: he had very few listeners, and he had to escape in disappointment...
even had a good relationship with his neighbor and had a dispute with a female tailor. Because of physical conflict, he accidentally pushed the other party down the stairs and caused his lifelong disability. For this reason, he sued the lawsuit and lost the case. He had to pay compensation quarterly until the seamstress died... He received the news of his death and breathed out: "The evil wife died, and he was relieved."
When he was young, he had a handsome face and well-dressed dress, which was very popular among women. He maintained an active sex life throughout his life, but he was not interested in getting married.
Although he has relatives, he is basically like nothing. He has no friends, if there is, it is his inseparable poodle . His enthusiasm and trust for it are obviously more than everyone around him.
He also has no obvious beliefs, except for the doctrines he founded and the ideas he personally upholds.
Russell once described him like this: "Apart from being kind to animals, it is difficult to find any trace of virtue in his life. ... He is completely selfish. It is hard to believe that a person who deeply believes in asceticism and obedience to be virtues will never intend to reflect his beliefs in practice."
His life was basically spent in loneliness. Even his doctrine did not attract the special attention of his contemporaries when he was alive, and it did not improve slightly until his old age.
But he is indeed an extraordinary giant - his name is: Artur Schopenhauer, which gradually became famous around the world several years after his death.
Artur Schopenhauer, a 19th century German philosopher, founder and one of the main representatives of voluntarism . His works include " The World of Will and Representation ", "Appendix and Supplementary". He died on September 21, 1860 at the age of 72.
Schopenhauer's unique personality may have a lot to do with his childhood family and experience. If we talk about personal morality, it can be described as "useless and terrible";
However, personality, talent, and achievement are two different things after all. There has never been an absolute and simple thing in this world.So, sometimes, we really cannot let our self-accustomed thinking and use "natural" and mechanical methods to infer, judge and measure.
Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788-September 21, 1860)
