How can we reside a greater life? At instances life appears challenging simply to bare, not to say "get pleasure from". We prick our ears for every single guarantee for a improved life and a relief of our misery, but can we get disappointed every single single time, unless we deceive ourselves into pondering that we identified our resolution. Try soon after Try to either entertain ourselves to overlook how cruel life can be often or to uncover a final option to out dilemma we come to recognize that life will constantly be the way it is, and we are bound to endure no matter whether we admit that or not.
Going by means of this we may possibly accept suffering but we Attempt to justify it; we Attempt to justify existence itself. In reality most illusions are mere tries to justify our existence; we Attempt to invent causes to exist for and belief systems to make life endurable but the trouble with self deception is that we know we are lying. We obtain a sense of mistrust as we get disappointed in discovering somebody to relieve us; we rely on numerous issues, from psychology and anti-depression medicines to religions and holy books. But we discover we cannot rely on something, but can we rely on philosophy to show us how to reside a pleased life? I think the resolution is: No!! To reside a improved life we are not supposed to "rely on" philosophy, but philosophize.
No 1 can inform us how to reside a improved life, or how to face the terrifying existence, but we have to know that ourselves. To quote Montaigne "discovered you can be with a person else's teaching, but sensible you can only be on your personal". And to philosophize is to Attempt to be wiser, and therefore a philosopher (a lover of wisdom) strives not only for understanding, but also for how to view life, not only for understanding what to believe but also for studying how to believe, and much more importantly, how to reside.
It is not sufficient to memorize some arguments and the philosopher's birth date, not even to recognize his philosophy, but -for a real lover of wisdom - a single has to go additional as the believed of somebody can by no means make an additional wiser. Reading philosophy can only make the issues clearer, but just about every 1 of us has to obtain their personal way of seeing life, their personal philosophy. And hence rather of deceiving oneself one particular seeks fact, and find out to reside with it, to even love it and love life the way it is, and as Nietzsche would say, would love to reside it an infinite quantity of instances, not merely suffer it.
