Recently i read a book by Arthur Schopenhauer german philosopher(1788.-1860.)called The wisdom of life.Found it very interesting.Critics call him a pessimist,with the reason because in this book he write about when someone goes deep in observation world with using intelect you`ll find that the world is not that bright.In this book he quotes some very interesting people like Sokrat,Voltaire,Aristotel etc.and i will write it down and some of himself also:

„The earth is full of people who are not worth talking to.“

„Society, groups, salons that we call the world, it's all a lousy theatrical performance, a bad opera, completely uninteresting, and the machines, costumes, and decorations barely hold your attention.“

„Sociability is one of the most dangerous, indeed, most destructive, tendencies, since it brings us into contact with beings, the vast majority of whom are morally bad and intellectually dull or perverted.“

And the funny one

„If a head and a book collide and it rings hollowly, is it because of the book?“

Maybe i am wrong but i see all this as a true.
Once Laura complaining about feeling very bad,awful something like that and C`s answered gently:Of course,you live in 3D reality“.
It looks like this pessimism is inwrought in this reality.
Even in it song itself,“Always look on the bright side of life“by Monty Python they saing that life isn`t so bright,verses goes:

„Life`s a piece of shit
When you look at it“
or
„For life is quiet apsurd
And death`s is final word“

Song is very inetresting and funny and educating.

I just wanna say that these days is very hard to find something funny,interesting,intelectual or i stuck.It`s become a jackpot to find someone who can even listen to you with interest.
The things are not that brightIt`s actually how you make it.
